The story

Idk anymore..... I'm an MLM but I'm falling for a girl, I keep denying myself every day, it hurts me. But if I accept myself then I will think to myself what my family always says to me "don't get a girlfriend!" It really traumatized me. I'm only comfortable with guys, but with women. I don't know

you're going through a lot of emotional turmoil right now 💔 it's understandable that you're feeling conflicted about your identity it's crucial to focus on what really makes you happy!

try not to let family expectations weigh too heavily on you... when it comes to matters of the heart, nobody should dictate your choices! exploring your feelings might bring the clarity you seek!

remember you're not alone in this journey 🌈

seems like you're caught in a bit of a bind there...!! i get the struggle... but shouldn't love be about being true to yourself? "don't get a girlfriend" sounds like a directive that's holding you back!!! maybe it's more about what society wants than what you feel... your comfort with guys, though, feels a bit like a self-imposed limitation... it's like you're boxing yourself in... wondering if this is more about self-acceptance... or fear of going against the grain

man, that's a rough situation you're in; your heart's pulling you one way and your head another. it's tough when family expectations weigh you down like that. denying your feelings ain't easy, i've been there too and it's a real headache. hoping you find a way to be true to yourself and feel good about it. hang in there.

honestly, sounds like you're stuck in a cognitive dissonance; "don't get a girlfriend" shouldn't dictate your happiness 🤷‍♂️ sure, family values are important, but sacrificing your own identity isn't the way to go. if you're only comfortable with guys, maybe it's time to explore why you're fighting that so hard. seems like you're allowing societal norms to cloud your judgement, man.

seems like you're in a bit of a quandary. "don't get a girlfriend" feels like a mantra that's confining you; i've seen how family expectations can impose limitations on self-discovery. i once thought my values had to align perfectly with those around me, and it felt like being stuck in an existential maze, constantly questioning myself. it's crucial to understand whether this struggle is truly about your identity or the fear of stepping outside familial norms. identifying where your true comfort lies might be the first step toward resolving this dissonance.

man, I feel you on this one. it sucks to feel pressured by family expectations 🤔 even though you’re attracted to guys, falling for a girl can be super confusing. i totally get how that "don't get a girlfriend" line can haunt you; but trying to deny your feelings just hurts more in the long run. been there, and it's like fighting against a tidal wave. it's tough finding what truly makes you happy without all the noise. stay strong.
