Gender, sexuality, mental health, subcultures. Anything that you think is a core part of your identity. How has it changed over time? What key moments lead you to realize your identity?
Tell me your lore :) -
mine isnt interesting. a girl on my bus in 7th grade said she thought she was bi. I didnt know what bisexual meant so i went and started like looking at men and women and i realized everyone is hot!
-
I really don't remember, but it was me deciding what i wanted for myself, and finding out who i was emotionally. I believe this has affected my life so far, physically and emotionally.

fav color lore
i saw and my eyes gasped -
Someone in primary (I'm from the UK) said are you a furry and I'm like what dat, then I searched it up and fell in love, also becoming in the process (a furry=someone who likes Anthro animals: has human characteristics, such as being able to talk, stand up straight and walk, etc.)

I liked a girl in third grade. I knew I hade a crush on her. We both joked about the fact that we both used to have a crush on each other when I was in 5th grade. Thought I was completely straight until 7th grade and I knew what being gay was. I’m a girl. And an idiot.

Honestly there's so many facets to my identity that it's kinda hard to know where to even start. I've picked stuff up all throughout my life, including carrying certain things from the very beginning, and I'm always changing but also always staying the same. It's fascinating.

Still kinda figuring it out, but my friends, fyp and therapy were all very helpful lol

I suppose I just started to grow uncomfortable with she/her pronouns and the idea of being female. I didn't wanna be male either so here we are :)
I've also never really had crushes, the earliest I can remember was in primary school, grade 5. So I identify as aroace or asexual. -
I've actually been struggling all day with whether or not I should share, but I think I will...
My mother heavily pounded into my head what I was to do with my life because my assigned gender demanded it, but I never considered my assigned gender. I just did what I wanted and liked what I liked, but as I got older, my mom only stressed more that I was to be this because I was born with these body parts.
I eventually gathered from myself that I am predominantly masculine, but have small traces of feminine qualities. I consider myself both agender and transgender. Some days I just feel like no gender in particular while others seem more defined.
As for sexuality, I thought I only liked guys until I had a crush on a girl at 11. Since then, I've been bisexual. However, when I turned 17, I started feeling no absolute attraction or desire for a relationship except under certain terms. Even though I'm engaged now, I still have no sexual desire, sometimes, so I consider myself aceflux as well. When I entered my current relationship, it's safe to say I was in the demisexual zone because I didn't really have an interest in dating until I had established a deep bond with my now fiancé.
And as for subculture, I've always been into dark things. My siblings were always freaked out by it, but I felt one with the things that seemed to be too morbid for discussion. I find beauty in the darkest things. I learned I was goth around 13, but didn't really openly embrace it until 18. And oddly enough, I have a grandmother that supports me and knew I was goth before I even said anything.
I go back into the abyss, now. -
tbh ive been straight and still am, so i dont have much to say in terms of sexuality.
i guess i'd say that i used to be a very negative person, and now i try to stick to my values of being kind, patient, and faithful -
Thank you all for sharing 💞
I pin up little pieces of each of you in my heart and it makes my happy to hear about how you all see yourselves. -
I went through an identity crisis when I was younger, because I acted differently around different people and began to struggle with finding out which one of those "identities" I was. It was tough and it took time for me to become more confident in who I am. I also was kinda dry in my faith until I was convicted and truly saved. Now I'm proud of the person I've become and more open about my religion
