I'm not sure I should start this conversation and I've been rewriting this a lot lol. But I could use some relating and opinions from fellow internet leftists

Ok so, to keep it really simple: I happened to share a meal with somebody I really liked. I have interacted casually (no flirting) for about a dozen minutes total and we exchanged contact because of shared-interests (not dating)

Now my brain is fried

I'm thinking about her way too much and it gives be bad vibes, she probably has no idea and I can't imagine the sheer horror of realising that someone is thinking this much about you after so little interaction.

I want to be a well-behaved straight (kinda bi but that's beyond the point) guy, I'm trying to be an ally to the feminist cause, so, failing this spectacularly at behaving normally in relation to women disgust me. I know I can't remove the patriarchy from my body but I damn wish I could.

/uj Feelings are feelings, only actions cross the line into inappropriate territory. You had a pleasant interaction and got the warm fuzzies, nothing wrong with that. There is also a chance, can't really say without additional context that this person wanted to date you. I certainly don't give my contact deets out to everyone I share a cig with.

/rj how fucking dare you, you must take SSRI to remove all libido or you will go viral as an abuser.

Unironically the best bit of me taking SSRIs was the brief period where I lost all my libido. Wouldn’t say it was great if it had continued but it was very novel to be entirely non-horny. Lot of shame and other issues tied to my sexuality so it felt nice to just exist without it for a bit.

/uj You must be right, I might be overreacting. The subjective experience is very unpleasant but as long as I'm objectively not creeping her I guess it's alright. Not gonna detail the whole context but evidence suggests that she's not into me so I'm definitely not making a move. I'll find a healthy way to cope! (writing a thread on Hexbear is probably one I guess)

/rj I'll surrender to the Volcel Police to be sent to the maleness termination facility

I'll surrender to the Volcel Police

top-cop No need for that. All non-offending forms of identity, orientation, and sexuality are celebrated in the Volcel Police. Our Pride floats are the envy of all of Hexbear.
