People are so optimistic and naïve about wanting to be in a relationship. They think that it will continue to be the same or even better. In reality, there will be fights, and your energy will be wasted on drama. This is more realistic than people would like to imagine. Traumas are a natural part of that process for most people even if they are conscious. Finding your partner brave for their masculinity or femininity will be nothing when your partner starts to psychologically abuse you.

What if you don't have a desire for marriage or a long-term relationship? Is that wrong? Are you less of a human? Is approaching even appropriate in that case if most people want to be in a relationship?

Often, not. That's why I said to be smart. When the school or university is corrupt, cheating is necessary.

Sometimes labels are too simplistic to describe a person, even for straights. Discovering that we are bi, etc., is still the beginning of discovering how weird we really are, I think.

@Ramanujan Cheat, but be smart about it. Only rely on your memory. Create connections between words. Build an intuition about which ideas can be connected. Understand the subject and ask yourself questions. I simplified too much, but anyway. I recommend the last one if you love the subject and have time to do it.

@meow_meow I can only say to try to be less addicted to anything, but also don't be moralistic about it and do as you please as long as it doesn't bring too much suffering. I think the real solution is balancing. Know what you can handle. Just know the reason behind why you do it to its crazy deepest levels. You might do the same thing, but you will see it differently.

I remember that he was praised for his nerdiness, how hard-working genius (I don't think he is) he was, and how he figured it out alone. I guess people assumed that kind of person would be a good leader.

@Twentyfirst Imagine thinking that you are wrong. Of course you will say that you might be wrong on other things and why should I change my beliefs. To which I'll agree with you. You change the meaning of the words to justify why you don't like them, which I can respect. Not caring about LGBT issues is different than trying to find reasons to view them as inferior.

@Twentyfirst Your questions have been answered in many different ways. Put in a little effort to understand them.

You're not wrong. You become gay by discovering that you are gay. It's not a normal process.

Actually, it's the opposite. People have an agenda not to accept it, for they have been brainwashed with false ideas about the "strange" people.

How do you feel about being surrounded by losers? Many people here aren't that into having children, from what I have observed.

I can respect that, but you are wrong. You don't have to imagine, because they exist and they are attracted to each other like you would be to the "opposite". From their perspective, they are "opposite" each other. Also, why would you (only) be attracted to a biologically different person? Why do you think being attracted to the same is not desirable for others? Also, biological differences or similarity aren't the only thing that makes you attracted to others.

@Twentyfirst The thing is that you don't have to brainwash yourself to not be straight.

Maybe more conservatives gave up watching Disney content to be opposed to woke, regardless of the quality of the content.

Most clothing stores have a women's section. They are literally divided into two groups: men and women. Why aren't you paranoid? They might have an agenda for destroying men.

Also, don't get me wrong. I'm not saying that, from your perspective, they aren't strange. And you don't have to care about survival in order to see them as strange. This is about how you feel towards them, not about survival. Also, why should you care about having babies? If you think deeply, you will see that survival made you think that way. There are straight people who don't care about having babies; are they also inferior? If survival demands that you manipulate people and you start to become aware of its problems, wouldn't you change yourself?

@Twentyfirst You are using survival to justify why it's not normal to be attracted to the same sex or have different experiences of who you are. If you say they are weird, then you would also have to say that you are also weird. They understand that they are different than most people. They just want to be treated humanely. Survival can be brutal. But why not be more just? Isn't it truthful to acknowledge their right to exist? These issues don't have to be unnecessarily mixed together. If some alien civilization attacked humans for not having advanced technology for survival, how would you feel? I bet you would want to acknowledge your existence as a human, right? Or would you go with them, even though they hate you for being a human and treat you like a slave? And they say things like, What a weird creature; they can't survive like us.

If, so then you are confusing different problems and you're using this to invalidate their existence.

@Twentyfirst So, if you don't have a baby, your existence is inferior?

@Twentyfirst Then you would also have to admit that you are strange for being straight. Why should you be like everyone else? Isn't that strange? When they want to be normal like you, they want to be accepted like you. That's what I think the LGBT community is for. It only takes a loving parent to say that they love them, however they are (I don't think that this can solve all of the problems that they have). Even though I know that straight kids aren't appreciated that much, it's way worse for LGBT people.

@Twentyfirst Do you think that the normal people you speak of are pure of heart, wise, intelligent and aren't shoving their "family values" into their kids? Imagine not being accepted for who you are, being compared to murderers, etc., and being gaslighted for being weird. For that, them being the way you described is more justified. They see all of your "questionings" about them as an attack on their existence because you are more comfortable expressing yourself than they are.

The comment section of that video is also interesting.

@thenondualtankie I don't know about others, but I have watched his videos like 5 times a day. So, of course, it had an influence on me. I'm glad that I can speak bluntly. Back then, I would nicely disagree with others that they wouldn't notice it. But I like both of them.

@An young being The whole problem is that how can you respect others if they can't respect you? What if respecting others means the destruction of your life? Do you see how deep this can go? This is the relativity that traditionalists don't understand. Also, what does it mean to not respect? For a traditionalist, not having "traditional values". For that, you will be handled brutally. So, how can you respect them? They will gladly believe without any doubt that they are right and objective. But they are far from being objective. But I also understand that you can't do anything in the beginning or most of the time. So, gaining respect can become a waste of time. Why do I have to live my whole life in order to gain respect? I would eventually devolve into being like them. So, it would be more effective to find other solutions, regardless of my feelings about not being respected.
