Talk to the councillors, I'm sure they have people literally all the time with parental refusal, there may be something they can do to help. Congrats on getting in to your college of choice! Keep searching for scholarships, there are tons out there so one is bound to be a match.

Anyone with any experience of SIBO please let me know… been fighting this very gradually linearity intensifying battle for about a year now. Gone from averaging 7.5 hours a night’s sleep per week to now a rock bottom of what feels like 5.5-6 hours a night. What drags my avg down is 1 or 2 nights I get maybe 4 hours give or take a half hour. My bathroom walls somehow aren’t psycho inducingly boring yet. But yeah, op I sure feel for you. Don’t worry about stinking up a bathroom. Hell, I’d sit bare ass naked on the side of a highway dropping 5 pounds and all I know is that I can’t help it. It’s not like I didn’t skip a rest stop, shit happens literally. By no means are you a “jerk” in any way for smell, you can’t control when you have to go. Others should feel sympathetic for the battle you constantly face.

Thank you for the advice! And I have considered apologizing I just feel it's 6 months too late so I struggle even considering it but I might if I ever catch him in the halls again. As far as my identity questions I'm fine with answering. I used to identify as ftm though now I identify as non binary. But my sexuality I consider to be bisexual. I kinda just always knew I wasn't a girl (Though some trans people don't 100% figure out growing up) so I immediately thought I was just a guy but after transitioning for 2 years it still felt wrong so I de transitioned completely though being a "girl," still didn't sit well with me. So now I identify as enby and as far as attraction it's stayed the same. I've always liked guys and girls and it never changed through my transition. Though that is just my personal experience and I know some people figure out their sexualities as they're transitioning. At the end of the day though I just feel like me. I don't like to label my gender, I just see myself as a person y'know. So, I don't mind people seeing me as a boy or girl. But personally I don't feel like either. Hope that cleared up some things!! Or not haha

Well, as an advice, if you fuck up something, apologize. No one likes people who don't apologize.

I don't see any other option then going there and talking to him, or maybe text him. And I think that in both cases, you should tell him that you really miss him, and you've fucked up, apologize and, depending on the type of person, ask him to go out somewhere and talk about this. For sure, you need balls to do this, but you don't really have any other option.

I have a question, you're in your school years and you already are an ftm? And how does it work, who are you attracted to? Sorry for these questions, I'm just curious.

Hey. this is just my opinion. have a chat with him and apologize for acting the way you did and everything else. If both of you are comfortable being friends thats awesome but if not then you can keep your distance from him. That way youll be satisfied that you made an effort to make things right. Just an opinion. Good luck.

IMO flirting over text is a bad idea, especially for people who are not already quite mutually confident in the relationship.

As a communication medium, SMS does not have the bandwidth necessary to carry the information required for successful flirting, nor for any truly meaningful communication. This structural limitation can only be made worse by any self-doubts the parties may harbor.

Im not trying to be down on anyone, but you never mentioned your ages. To me yes you guys have issues you both are dealing with, but this seems like some kind of teenage relationship issue.

I mean there seems to be quite a bit of immaturity. Just say that you are sorry and that you will give him some time and dont talk over text about it. Something like this would be better to talk face to face. It is hard to FEEL someone thru a text message.

Hi there! I usually don’t comment on things like this… or really anything ever. But I’m a person with Borderline personality, and both my partner and I are autistic.

This really is something your partner needs to take some of the accountability for. Like someone said above, it’s good to be gentle with triggers, but people do need to be aware of their own and work with the people they care about in order to prevent those triggers from causing unnecessary strife.

You said the important part, which is the “I still prefer you.” His discomfort is fair, but him getting upset with you is truly a Him problem. One of the issues with BPD (borderline) is that our brains tend to subconsciously make everything other people’s problem, even when we have a definite part in it. Without him doing the work this will become a pattern, where he gets upset when you didn’t do anything actually wrong, just something he didn’t like. And then you apologize but that’s not actually addressing the problem because the problem is internal.

I’ve also been working on my BPD for 5+ years and still find myself falling into these patterns with my partner of 6 years. AND we have fully developed frontal lobes (M26 & M27) and he has a lot of patience for my irrationality.

Your partner is entitled to his discomfort, but at some point he does have to own it as his.

I’m sorry you’re both dealing with this, but you didn’t fuck up. And honestly, neither did he. Brains are just tricky.
