| For most of high school, although I think I actually wanted to be friends with him, and I chose to interpret it as a crush because I wanted to feel like I was having a normal experience. I only thought about hanging out and joking around with him like friends would, and playing music together, but I... |

| In my case... yeah, but no. The typical examples given are usually works of fiction and celebrities, and while I have had those interests, I haven't had them in normal or less intense ways. For example, rather than the plot and workings of a video game, one particular character from this video game ... |

| Why does being attracted to women, for instance, mean that you will inevitably feel that way about every one who you could develop a friendship with? I don't know why you can't be friends even if you feel that way about them. That's true, I could have said "to the point of making friendship aw... |

| Nothing in this conversation has answered the question of why so many people think it is impossible to be friends with anybody of a certain gender just because you can POTENTIALLY be romantically or sexually attracted to someone of that gender. Why does being attracted to women, for instance, mean t... |

| Homoromantic asexual fits the best, although I usually just describe myself as gay and don't talk about being asexual very much in real life. |

| If you do not want to cause offense, be considerate and open to learning what that entails. If you are accidentally insensitive and somebody tells you, learn from it. I don't have any sympathy if you'd rather complain about "political correctness" than give any thought to experiences outsi... |

| That is bizarre and a complete mess, honestly. Since they're talking about straight people whose sexual orientations are compatible with one another, and I'm a lesbian, I'll try to give an equivalent example - even in a LGBT social group where I participated for years, when I spent time with girls f... |

| I've had attention issues for many years. If you have the urge to get attention in fleeting, superficial ways, it is probably because you're not getting the personal validation that you need in a healthy way - that is, through emotional intimacy with other people. I had a few friends as a kid, but a... |

| I certainly don't think anything positive about the situation in the first post. I think it's 100% wrong that anybody is expected to wear makeup just to look professional or presentable. Makeup should be a choice people can make to do something personal with their appearance, not an obligation. Howe... |

| If you feel like you're interested in more than one gender, that is what you feel right now. I think being honest with yourself about what and who you're interested in romantically or sexually is a positive, even if you're young, even if you don't know whether you'll feel the same in a few years, ev... |

I watch one franchise of shows online that are not broadcast in my country, but I don't try to watch any of the drama shows that are popular, or many movies, because I'm very scared of violent or disturbing content. I get fixated on specific music artists instead of listening to... |

When we straight people talk about the LGBTQ community our biggest complaint and usually our ONLY complaint is that you insist on telling us about your sexual orientation.

| I like girls who have a creative style that they have fun with, but that doesn't have to involve dresses. There are plenty of other things to wear. |
