New job on the way, I should be happy, but I feel insanely depressed.
I wish I didn't live over an hour away from the gay nightlife. I wake up at 5 and everything starts after I've been awake for 16 hours. I'm too sleepy and anemic to make the drive.
I had to see my family and listen to them talk about how jealous they are that I'm forced to live in such a "quaint" backwater shithole even though I've told them I hate it. It must be soooooo easy to be straight. I have to jump through hoops to meet someone who doesn't loathe me, and they're all jealous.
Dating isn't easy for anyone, except the super model hot shallow ones. Being straight, and trying to date, as a introvert, in a backwater rural area... Trust me I feel your pain.
Oh yeah I know, I wasn't thinking about dating. I'm hideous. I just want to meet someone who doesn't loathe me. I think it would be nice
ETA I do think being straight is easier even if dating is hard. None of the straight people I know have families trying to cast demons out of them, none of them make friends only to later hear them talking about how their demographic are secretly trying to corrupt America and kill the Jewish people, et cetera.
I feel you. It's hard to explain to people how much they take for granted their ability to be unguarded when seeking out activities or communities, and to find those places as a gay person you are restricted to a tiny fraction of places (usually HCOL too sadly)
On the side, I hate how most LGBT community stuff is nightlife, bars, clubs. That's not really my thing. I'd like some other options for meeting people and hanging out that are more relaxed and preferably earlier in the day. Though I feel that's not unique to me or even other gay people.
