I hate this weather warm i can deal with beat extreme hot that we aren't use to kills me. I sweat just walking for a bit in it and my mates want me to play football in it, they have no chance. I don't play sports anymore let alone in this heat.
This is making me feel worse about myself as i'm sweating at the drop of a pin and then i'm dirty and feel dirty but no matter what i do i can't stop it. It drags me down and leaves me at this point where i want to cut and that makes me feel like i'm an idiot because why would you do that because you sweat everyone sweats. The fact i look at people while i'm walking and they aren't sweating and they give me dirty looks which gets to me and meh
To be honest it was me kind of ranting about it i think, but yeah i shower in the morning and ten minutes later i feel dirty because i'm drenched in sweat it's disgusting to me. i could live in a cold shower but then my laptop would be screwed.
So the north pole it is even if it is getting warmer :p
and monsoon im really sorry to here you feel like that, maybe if you tell us whats going on we'd be able to help? hope you feel better anyways good luck mate
Hello lads :) I'm not a guy (in any way shape or form lol) but I just wanted to crash your thread for a second and say i'm glad you guys have a place to go :)
*toddles off*
"Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind."
Ok i am going for a shot in the dark which may work it may not but it's worth ago.
Ok i'm sure there are some males on here who find it hard to open up/ask for help (myself included) but for you who find it easier i was kind of hoping you would share how you came to a point in which you found it easier to open so others may benefit from your experiences. After all it is great having a thread to get support if many don't know how to or even feel comfortable about it, this thread won't help as much as we want it to.
We hope this will help to break down the stereotype that surrounds how males 'should' act and feel.
Are you not encouraging the stereotype by this post proposing that males are somehow inherently different from everyone here and need their own thread to express themselves because they can't do it in the normal fashion like everyone else?

Useless thread in my opinion.
If you care to read the first post then you would see that the simple answer is no. I helped with the writing and structure of this thread, and what I emphasised mostly was the social stereotypes and pressures placed upon those perceived as male. If we believed that males were inherently different then we would not be as accepting of either alters or transmales. Just because because someone is a certain sex at birth, does not mean that person will be that gender; therefore meaning that this thread is based around those of us expected to be quiet, due to stereotypical beliefs of males, to be open for once and discuss what we go through.
Rather than encouraging the stereotype of the male gender, we are encouraging an area for males to open up and to disprove the stereotype that men do not feel/have the same emotions as females. This thread will also hopefully bring awareness to the fact some do have their own personal issues they would like support for, but feel slightly intimidated to post their problems on a primarily female board. Not because of the fact there are females, but due to the fact differing socialisation from birth onwards based on what 'sex' we are leads to differing perspectives & concerns within life. That being true, how can one truly feel "not alone", as stated by the main page for RYL, when there is a limited number with this enforced perspective as previously described? Thus, this thread is in fact helping to prove that there is really little difference between what we all feel - just differing perspectives and upbringing.
I hope that explains things for you. Though if you truly believe this thread will simply cause further problems with stereotypes, the solution is not to post and raise your concerns with the moderators in private.
Andy the fact you trust her says that if he did try anything she wouldn't go there, the trust in her is the only trust you need. Paranoia can be horrible in these situations but you trust her so just remind yourself of that and it will be fine.
sorry
