But maybe without labels we would all be normal.
And then I would finally attain the normal life that I've so desperately craved for so long.
… I'm going to see my new psychiatrist tomorrow LOL.

In some cases, the modern discourses about LGBT with their various labels and heteronormative/cisnormative prejudices themselves may contribute to leading a certain number of individuals to identify with certain non-hetero/non-cis gender identities, or even creating some gender identities, or simply enhancing what otherwise may just be a vague tendency. The act of forbidding can lend a hand to creating what it forbids. (No need to entirely agree with Foucault to see this).
Biological factors no doubt play a most important part, but it's not like socialization and the acquaintance with prevalent linguistic schemata have no impact whatsoever. The explicit identification with a certain gender identity or a label may also drive an individual to perform a certain set of behaviors associated with said gender identity. Which is not to say that non-hetero/non-cis sexualities cannot exist without human socialization. Various non-human animals have provided sufficient demonstration. (Which's why Judith Butler is wrong, though she does have a point).

Thats a really cool soundtrack, yo.
Ultimately, the same reason why language exists. It's convenient and at the same time troublesome, i.e. it has its pros and cons. All words are labels. No two trees are absolutely alike but we still call both of them trees. For practical purposes sometimes you need to mind the similarities more than the differences.
Ah that's it. Now I remember why I hate talking.
Lol I was just asking cause I honestly had no clue.
It's not a matter of gender identity or labels…
Oh well.

Well if you have a transmasculine side it's probably gay
that's what I've learned from chasing many trans guys and other transmasculine folks only to end up

I see… cheers for explaining that lol.
Oddly even if a part of me feels 'shit just got more complex', another part feels... well... oddly more at ease, cause it'd explain so much.

Somehow I had the impression that I was posting in the racism thread which is now about LGBT haha.
Perhaps the LGBT part of that discussion can be moved here. I'm preparing some big replies.
As for your case, I wonder if it is some sort of dissociative disorder or something related. I guess a more detailed description would help.

I don't know that much myself tbh…
It was an epiphany that struck yesterday
But I know it's right... it just fits so right.
But I'm bad at explaining things.

Maybe that thread should just be turned into a general "social issues"
or "complaining about social issues because we can't get laid" thread.
This stuff can be hard as hell to figure out because it's not like other people can see inside you and know how you are feeling so you gotta work it all out yourself with the information you have, and it doesn't help when society hands you a checklist of things you can be and you don't really fit any of it and trying to just makes things worse. So don't feel bad that you don't necessarily know everything at this point. It can take years to get to the answers for this.
Incidentally, I missed that Law GIF.
…I'm not even sure if I am sexual. :I
Don't feel like I have it in me.
Might have to make that gif my signature again if THE MODS WOULD STOP CHANGING THE SIGNATURE RULES.
I'm not worried about others affecting me but I am worried about how they'd react if that makes sense.

Now I got a problem - I drew what I imagined I'd look as a guy/my manself...
And I've fallen in love.
But I don't know whether it's my femaleself being like 'o-oh my...' or my manself is in love with itself.
my manself better not be Hans

Nothing wrong with asexuality, whether it's either circumstantial or inherent. I know society has that pressure to be sexual, but if you don't feel like it, that's perfectly okay too :)

Makes perfect sense. After all, that ways lies potential discrimination. It's actually quite sensible to have these concerns. But true friends will help you where they can, and you won't be alone. Kinda hard to go into more detail when things are still kinda vague though.

I have been wondering if square is really sociopathic/psychopathic.
To be fair, psychopathy doesn't mean a complete lack of emotions and feelings. You have to have traumatic brain injury to lose all emotions. Psychopathy means a reduced tendency to empathize, to feel guilt and remorse. It can also involve negative excitement-seeking, a need for stimulation. It can go with poor behavioral control, but some psychopaths are socially cunning.
There is also different levels of psychopathy, such as primary psychopathy and secondary psychopathy. Secondary psychopathy involves more negative emotions such as slight guilt.
Sociopathy is pretty much the same. I am using those terms in a completely neutral manner without any negative connotation here.
So far, I think square's behaviors pretty much fit the descriptions. But I am not his personal psychologist, so I don't know. I just think that the "You are not completely lacking in any human emotion therefore you are not a sociopath" is inaccurate.

I just thought about something.
What would happen if were to fall in love with themself romantically. And it also means that self will also fall for them. And there will be relationship. Someone being in a relationship with themself. :ninja:

Hans Solo.

Zachri is referencing both Han Solo of Star Wars fame and a character named Hans, possibly from the Disney movie Frozen.

Could be. My therapist from a few years ago mentioned Schizoid Personality Disorder, but looking at it again it seems to imply occasional feelings of solitude or loneliness, and as previously noted I'm more likely to regard people with antipathy and contempt than to try and connect with them.
There is something empowering about potentially being a psychopath though, even thinking about it I get this craving I can't completely describe.

I don't usually don't understand what you mean (or maybe I do xD). But what?
Hello again. This is me again, Rolling Stone.
Im sorry for bothering you guys again. Im truly sorry for the mischief I have caused and created in the past. I am here to make a confession and hopefully make amends with everyone.
Especially, I want to apologize to Shuhan and Meta Mario for making those creepy sexual jokes at your expenses, because Im a guy and you probably didnt like to be treated like pieces of meat and I understand that.
And to Femme, for going to far with the cyberhugs. I mean I didnt mean to creep you out and totally understand why you felt that way. Im actually gay but you didnt know that and Im sorry I creeped you out. Guys need to understand there is a line of respect so to speak that one shouldnt cross when talking to people especially for women.
To Valiant for being unpleasent and generally assholish to her.
And Toraish, Robby and other mods for being such a pest to them.
I know this is both childish and immature but please let me stay! I have no other place to talk to friends and people that's as awesome and friendly as AP. I promise I'll behave and be nice and friendly from now on!
I hope you guys will let me stay with you just a little longer. Im sorry for being so childish.
Im a guy and you probably didnt like to be treated like pieces of meat and I understand that.
what kind of meat? Because I'm a haggis sausage kind of guy.

actually you should treat all genders equal, but learn to know the lines for each. Ie don't be reckless, as everyone has their own comfort zone.

Thats pretty much her bread and butter.

No, only my mind decides and does it. Nothing done from the outside.
Oh, you two… It couldn't be anyone else but you two...
Square is becoming more amusing by the post LOL.
If you inflate my ego too much, my posts will start looking like I'm trying too hard.
Then again, maybe they already do.
I was reeling from suicidal feelings again.
But I have to appreciate how much my boss really cares. This place is insane, and he is getting in big trouble with his wife over all the staying late and shit he has to do to keep things running smoothly. The district manager was in here today making all sorts of stupid ass comments, we don't have enough people to help. They won't give the store hours for more people, we have customers non stop all day until 11-12 PM. There's no time to do anything of the extra shit they want us to do.
We don't get breaks and sometimes you have to fight to take your lunch. I get sick from low blood sugar so this has been brutal on me. I really did not want to go through this again, after Walfart. Not getting paid enough for this.
My boss got in deep trouble for basically stealing me from my last store so I could come back here, so I definitely want to stay and do a good job. I sorta want to see if I can get a hospital gig because I want to be able to get into that. And hopefully I can get a job where my friend works when I move to NJ, and I'd like the hospital tech experience before I go up there. I feel terrible though because if I'm able to bail and bail quickly, that's going to look really bad. Reaaalllyyy bad.
I'm just tired of wanting to blow my brains out. I need an escape, but I haven't much time for anything but work and sleep.

This is how I feel almost every day now; I can't take it anymore, but I don't know who or where to turn. If I didn't have my business and my partners to worry about, I probably would have checked out months ago. Loneliness is a terrible feeling.

Oh crap you signed off right when I was about to message you D: We should talk. You listen to me a bunch, I'll always be happy to listen to you as well~
I just don't know where to direct these feelings. On one hand I want to muscle through but the overwhelming feeling of just ending it all won't go away and getting around it is difficult.
I can't stand being in positions where I'm powerless and I can't do anything about it or escape. It's suffocating, like childhood experiences. People who get in my face and cuss and insult me I can't just brush off. I want to punch their faces in ((do I say that enough??)), I can't stand feeling powerless. If I'm confronted with people like that in a non-work setting I don't get upset I just walk off. But no matter how much I work on improving myself I cannot shake the rage of how powerless I felt when people pushed me around, insulted/mocked me, framed me for things I didn't do, belittled me. When I can't walk away all these feelings just wash over me again.
I just want out of a job where I have to deal with the general public but I REALLY wish there was a way to get rid of these feelings. I just can't find it.
Im deeply depressed and One Piece is the only thing keeping me remotely happy.

Coupling this with your last post.
I understand that you are very appreciative of your boss's efforts , that he works hard, gets a lot of shit from his wife, manager, and did some I suppose not so good things to get you back to this store. He sounds like someone who works hard to get everything done and not lose talent.
…but the reality is, frankly speaking and it'll sound really selfish, BUT, your boss' life is not your life. You should not be living chained under the idea that "my boss went out of his way to get me, so I owe him and need to stay even when I don't want to." You already see what this sort of mentality is doing to your stability, and it's not helping one bit. For whatever help you may provide him, it does him no good if you feel particularly shackled, unhappy, and simply speaking, inhibited from achieving your maximum potential, and stifling and suppressing that feeling in the long run will only be destructive to you and your health.
Trust me. It is not your fault that the environment at these sorts of pharmacies is as toxic as it may be, and it is okay to do what you must. As virtuous sounding as it may seem to place your efforts into this man to reward his efforts, at some point, you need to draw a line and live life for your own self. It is your life, after all, and although things may seem to the contrary at the moment, you do have power to effect change within it.
