I finally got around to seeing “I Saw The TV Glow”, and it definitely lived up to the hype.

As a reminder, please do not discuss current struggle sessions in the mega. We want this to be a little oasis for all of us and the best way to do that is not to feed into existing conflict on the site.

Also, be sure to properly give content warnings and put sensitive subjects behind proper spoiler tags. It’s for the mental health of not just your comrades, but yourself as well.

Here is a screenshot of where to find the spoiler button.

    Literally looking up “chosen family” because I don’t understand how one forms/how to be part of such a thing

    Idk, hope this gets better, because I’m close to saying some dumb shit

      mixed feelings going into pride

      I don’t know what to expect. Any time I hope, like maybe a new connection will happen, that doesn’t really work out. I feel like a fed just walking around quietly by myself

      I’m hoping to collect goodies, I guess. Idk.

          Spoiler

          One time someone posted about platonic snuggling with their girlie friends and tbh that’s maybe the most dysphoric I ever felt

          Imagine having a friend who wants to be that close to you. Imagine being physically close to another human being.

          I didn’t realize that friends are, like, affectionate, or that they can be. I feel like a broken baby, learning basic things as an adult.

          I just want to be like the pretty people who have that effortless confidence. Who seem to make friends wherever they go, who seem to always be mid-conversation.

          If I had girl friends, I would want to go shopping. I would want to learn about being a woman, about femininity. About being pretty and doing makeup and how to learn what shirts fit good. About being flirty and charming.

          Apparently expressing this makes me intense. I don’t think it’s intense to think these things. If you do, I’d appreciate if you explained why. Because I genuinely don’t see it, I’m just speaking my mind.
