Yeah, male-male affection is much harder socially than female-female affection, for sure. I wish there could be much freer expression of loving friends in general.
I'll just go for a big ol' hug so we're all the best of friends ASAP.
This perfectly sums up the Brenden I've seen hahahaha
@peterpiper: I'm sure our situations are entirely different, but I do relate to some of that. *overshares to the internet*
Like, I'm only 19, but there's this social expectation that I will have fallen in love or had a serious crush by now. I haven't. I haven't experienced that falling-in-love physiological reaction that's apparently being attracted to or "into" someone. I deeply love heaps of people of all genders and ages, and I can get jealous/possessive/extremely hurt by a friendship ending and all. But it's always as friends - I'm not at all inclined to date any of them.
Girls will ask me "did you meet any cute/hot boys
", and I'm like... guys don't look cute/hot to me. It just... doesn't occur to me. Of course I'm subconsciously influenced by appearance, we all are, but I think of people in terms of their character, quirks, and our emotional bond. It's weird because guys will ask me on a date and I'm mentally like "nah I'm totally not interested in you, but that's nothing personal, I've never been interested in anyone lol".
