I'm so glad that meme format died.

Also that fucking distorted bubble text sent me into a frothing seizure.

I can't even imagine what kinds of shit I'm missing on TikTok

Maybe that's the mom in the the picture

[–] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 14 points 1 year ago

Maybe but then the photo doesn't really match the text

I was going to say, "POV: I have no idea what POV means."

Parents: “son its ok if you’re gay, we know its hard being different in a small town like this but youre still our child and we will always love you no matter what”

Me: “mom, dad, i’m not gay.”

Mom: “really? you sure about that?”

Dad: “you’ve literally never had a girlfriend and would be the only straight guy in town who hasnt. hell even most of the gay kids have had a beard at some point.”

Me: “i’m not gay… i’m just horribly depressed and have zero self esteem.”

Mom: “shit. whoops. i suppose we better find you a therapist then.”

Me: crawls into a hole and dies of embarrassment

I mean, your parents thought of you, tried to connect, listened, then started lining up care.

Parents be winning.

If you thought you'd get out of your teenage years without death-by-embarrassment, you're kidding yourself.

To connect with you, my parents discovered the evidence of long term daily self harm when I was in a bike crash and was unconscious. They otherwise believed me happy and healthy. That wasn't a fun conversation in the hospital, with a concussion.

As a parent, most of us just want to help, but it's incredibly hard to know what's going on inside your head.

I was a kid once too, and I know how hard dealing with parents can be. But I also know that every time I opened up, they attempted to help. Give it a shot, unless they're actually abuse.

[–] Got_Bent@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Even today when my daughter is a self sufficient adult, whenever she calls for advice, the first thing I do is bring my mind back in time to when I was that age and remember what was going through my head when a similar situation to hers arose.

It's not natural for me to do this. I have to make conscious effort. But it's proven to give me better perspective and increases her level of trust with me.

You should get therapy if your parents are offering. It helps.

[–] Twitches@lemm.ee 24 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Except when you find out the therapist your parents sent you to was their friend and told them everything you shared.

Then you sue for the HIPAA violation and can actually maybe afford a house one day, possibly.

[–] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

monkey's paw curls

Now you've gone too far and your parents aren't being accepting of you anymore

Dad: Quick reload the save we did before we started this convo path

Mom:...I forgot

Dad:...fuck.

[–] Twitches@lemm.ee 12 points 1 year ago

I had an almost verbatim convo with my parents as a teen.

It's something the youths are saying these days to describe someone who's smooth and has cha-"rizz"-ma.

My mom would randomly ask me "what do you think about . Yea mom, I'm not gay but I'm not talking about this shit with you either.

[–] nexguy@lemmy.world 30 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's just what someone with two healthy arms WOULD say

Can we leave that shit on Reddit? It was tired there

[–] magnetosphere@fedia.io 62 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Excessively worried moms can be annoying, but at least she’s trying to be supportive of her daughter.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 52 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

This just makes me think of all the times my mom accused me of being high years before I ever touched any drugs every time I would ask for something to eat because I was hungry.

[–] Ostrichgrif@lemmy.world 29 points 1 year ago

Yikes that sounds like she was trying to give you an eating disorder. Im sure that was stressful anytime you just wanted a snack

[–] Monument@lemmy.sdf.org 40 points 1 year ago (5 children)

One of my sisters once told me she was proud of me for being out with my bisexuality.

When asked, she said it was because I am liberal, and often refer to the people I date as partners. Then I had to explain to her what nonmonogamy was, and I’m not sure if that was more or less acceptable to her.

Hehe. My mom said that she will accept any girl I bring home. Too bad that I have zero game. I am gonna die lonely and miserable aren’t I?

My parents always used language that didn't presume we were heterosexual. Eventually, she started using even more inclusive language specifically for me, which was kinda weird but cool. I think she's finally just realized I'm not interested in romance or sex. Idk. I don't like bringing up topics like that, and I think she wants to give me space to bring that kind of thing up when I'm ready, so we just play a guessing game?

[–] Neato@ttrpg.network 29 points 1 year ago

I got that in HS, too. Took till like college until I started caring about dating. But that was in like 2000 so it was a lot less accepted so it was appreciated.

Had to have this discussion with some childhood friends a few years ago still single.

I remember my mom once worriedly asked me if I was gay because "I never saw you with a girlfriend". I was a rude, long-haired, weird looking rocker asshole, and 15 at the time of the question.

why does her oven mitt say nomelulul?

[–] zalgotext@sh.itjust.works 24 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's Lululemon backwards, and it's a purse, not an oven mitt

My parents had this conversation with me once I hit college. I was thankful that they were open minded and supportive but it was awkward convincing them that while I very much liked the opposite gender I had other priorities at that time.
