The First Thing that I need Advice On:
I am extremely, EXTREMELY straight. Of course, that doesn’t mean that everyone else doesn’t make fun of me. They call me a cross-dresser because I dress kind of like a guy- military style (not like the fashionable stuff, I’m talking cargo pants, work boots, etc), or kind of like a gangster (a gold chain, too-long jeans, oversized t-shirt and hoodie, etc) or just plain slobby. People call me a lesbian probably because of the same reasons.
I also don’t shave my legs. I’m kind of aggressive and dominant. I favor guys as friends, probably overall. I’m trying to start lifting weights so that I can look really strong. I wish that I was 6’2” but am only about 5’8". I have really, really wide shoulders and have a naturally muscly build, which I absolutely love about myself. I like a lot of stuff that guys like, like outdoorsy stuff, cars, etc., and I don’t wear makeup. I couldn’t care less about what everyone else calls style, I just care about my own style. I wish that I could have really short hair but people would probably just insult me even more. I’m nearly impossible to insult, but I like to fight, and if someone makes me mad and it’s one of my bad days, I probably will attack them. That happened once. I almost got in detention, but I didn’t really care.
I consider myself weird and, frankly, rather freakish… a trait which I also love about myself.
The only girly stuff about me is that I write romance novels but they’re always violent and the main character (a female) is always almost exactly like me.
What I’m getting at is, am I really, really strange? Are there other girls out there who are a lot like me? Or people in general who would accept me for who I am?
The other thing that I need advice on:
The only other girly thing about me is that I absolutely dream of falling in love. In fact, I’m actually desperately in love with someone, and he acts like he at least has some interest in me. More than any other guy who I’ve ever met. So yeah, he’s in most of my daydreams <3<3<3<3 But the problem is, I don’t want my mom to know that I like him because I’ve talked to her, and she’s hinted that she thinks that would be really stupid so I can’t let her know. I would tell everyone at school all about him, but since I go to a small school, they might tell my mom what I told them. Does that make sense? Because if I tell everyone at school, people will stop calling me a lesbian. I would still get all the other insults (I’m not going to say half of them because they’re really awful). One of the least is that I’ve been told to commit suicide numerous times, and for crying out loud, I go to a Christian school!
Oh and just to clear it up about getting in fights and stuff: Yeah, I’m a Christian, just a very world-weary, impulsive, semi-depressed one. Just in case anyone was confused.
My next question:
I am a self-diagnosed crazy person
So thus, I like to hang out with people who I can relate to- namely other people who are weird and kind of out of place. Problem is, my mom doesn’t understand that. I’ve talked to her a lot and explained how I feel, but she just doesn’t understand me. She doesn’t seem to get how I can just love people the way they are and not be judgmental. Sorry if that sounds kind of braggy or something, it’s just plain fact. What should I do? I kind of need someone to talk to, but I don’t have very many friends. Just a best friend who seems to be avoiding me more or less, a crazy guy, and some other people.
So, yeah. 1st question: Is it weird that I’m a straight girl and I act the way I do?
2nd question: What should I do about the people at school who call me a lesbian, but I’m not?
3rd question: What can I do about my mom?
Feel free to answer one or all of my questions. Constructive criticism is appreciated, thank you.
