Belle, age 16, throws away the heart of Catherine, age 15. She didn't really love Catherine, not really, so she had to string along Catherine like a doll so as not to upset her. I suppose, in a way, it seemed like a different kind of love, the way she didn't want to upset her.

Catherine gave and gave, and Belle sat, taking it all and forcing herself to give when she had barely anything. Belle, age 36, calls Catherine one day, her old friend from high school. She's finally ready to tell her she misses her and loves her, all those sweet words she didn't want to say 20 years prior. And yet Catherine said "I moved on, Belle. Why can't you?"

yes, you are TA. You are absolutely leading her on in this case and your shrugging isn't gonna help anything. It's just gonna make her upset. You gotta communicate with people.

 

In this case, Natasha and her friends.

Natasha is one of the "owners" of Catherine, who she decides to treat as a "pet" because she reminds her of a cat (hence the name CATherine). Natasha and her friends invite Catherine into the friend group and they all live together, but Catherine is treated badly there and Natasha makes a plan to kill Catherine.

She doesn't see Catherine as a person, but as an actual animal, a tool, and a nuisance, and wants to badly mistreat her which ends up traumatizing her.

 

Voglio scrivere di più in italiano e chiacchierare

Communicate with her if it really bothers you, but this sounds healthy to me. Don't overthink, you don't have to text 24/7. As long as she communicates with you, IRL, that's fine. I'm sure she's not ignoring you, BTW, I think she's just a napper. Some people are nappers, they like taking naps :)

THAT COUNSELOR IS A TYPICAL CONSERVATIVE!!!!!!!!!!

She should not be working in this school, what the actual hell??? This sounds like manipulation/gaslighting, why isn't this woman fired already...

 

I (trans man) have a best friend (cis man). Today, he texted me, saying that he encountered one of his friends (cis man) and the friend's boyfriend (trans man).

While I see the friend's boyfriend as quite androgynous leaning masculine, my best friend thinks he looks rather feminine and "just like a girl".

He still is trying to understand LGBTQ stuff, especially since he has had a transphobic, homophobic upbringing.

Anyway, my best friend called the boyfriend "she", so he replied with "I'm a guy, actually."

This confused my friend, apparently, and he said "How was I supposed to know when he looks so feminine?"

What is some advice I can give my friend? He's trying to understand, like I said, and I fully acknowledge and believe we are ALL guys. Everyone involved in this post. Me, my friend, his friend, and the boyfriend.
