Thank you Hannah. I've already looked up a bunch of different resources and had a helpful chat with QLife. Im hoping to have a conversation IRL with a person of similar background, and also simply to sit down in a quiet room and listen to myself. I feel lucky to be in a healthy situation with enough free time to relax and reflect.

Hello, Im AMAB, assigned male at birth. I feel like I might be a gay woman, and this is something that I dont enjoy thinking about. I recently shaved my body hair and immediately noticed how comfortable it felt to be in this new skin, while also realizing that I've always been uncomfortable with my genitalia. I am in my 20s and I've always had a fascination with lesbianism and a connection to queer female celebrities, but I felt shame about these feelings, chalking myself up as just another straight guy who is fetishizing women. Now I have a strong reason to believe that I am in fact, trans and a lesbian. I dont know who to talk to about this. I've told three people in my life so far, but none of them were qualified with this subject or didn't feel comfortable discussing it with me. I am unsure what to do next here but I know for sure that I dont want to go at it alone.

I'm doing fine, I recently started creating a small thing every day, aka a meme or sketch video, and it's been fulfilling

Hey everyone, So I recently had a chat with my psychologist, who helped me explain that in order to make close friends you need to give people a lot of time (months, years) in order for them to open up to you. I currently do not have close friends, and I choose to accept that it'll take a while to make friends, but in the meantime I have needs that im not sure how to meet. I have a need to be myself, feel accepted, and most importantly to give and receive physical affection. Im not sure how to do that without close friends, and Im worried that if I ask for help from people I don't trust then I'll only hurt myself further. I currently volunteer at a food place, hang out with my family, and do stand up comedy once a week. All those are nice activities but I dont feel 100% safe to be myself.

Thank you for your encouragement. I don't feel like a family discussion would help. I want to talk to people who would listen, but right now im not sure where. I do use beyondblue's hotline, but I think a real life person would be better.

My sister was supportive and said it was okay if I move back in. I feel hesitant to mention moving back home because I want to be independent of my family, and Im worried of feeling like a bother. so far for advice I've talked to the beyondblue support line, and went to two meetup groups where I asked them for advice on a job that would suit me. I am slowly letting go of the belief that asking for advice bothers people. I also told my mom today, and she said she would be okay with it. My biggest concern is that now in my parents' house my younger sister has her own room and I don't want to take that away from her!

Thank you for your reply, I appreciate the advice. I haven't talked to my parents but I did talk to my sister, and right now im contemplating moving out to a boarding house. I currently feel hesitant to ask for advice from people, so I have set myself a 21 day challenge to ask for advice online, offline or via the phone!

Hello everyone, I am new to the forum, and I intend to take full advantage of all the different features, such as bigger fonts and numbered lists here But anyway, onto my current predicament: Last month I decided to move out of my parents' house during the COVID-19 pandemic, while still on centrelink, to a sharehouse in a close suburb for 150 per week. I was operating under the assumption that if I moved out I would be motivated to look for a job. It SORTA worked, in the sense that I have been actively looking for work, but it has also been quite stressful. My housemates are polite, but they're quite distant, and I've noticed myself waking up every night at 4am feeling anxious. I also woke up screaming one time and they didn't do or say anything, just pretended they didn't hear me. I know it can be awkward to deal with that but I still felt horrible, and alone. I think part of the reason I moved out in the first place was because I felt constricted in my parents' house, and also because I barely discussed the decision with anyone. I am confident that if I ask to move back in my parents will be okay with it, but it will be awkward because my sister took my old room. I guess I don't have a specific question, I just wanted to articulate my thoughts on this matter, and feel like im heard.

Thanks for the support! The big turning point was the realization that I wasn't actually locked into anything, combined with letting go of the need to be validated. Once I stopped caring about being seen as a funny guy, either by local comedians or my idols, then I started realizing that I don't actually enjoy the artform that much, and so I stopped going.

I am 24 years old and I'd like to give myself a nudge towards finding a career path that I can persue with vigour. I've made some attempts to find direction, such as reading this article from Wait But Why, and it has helped me better understand myself and my goals. In the last few months I dropped out of a design course at TAFE and stopped doing stand up comedy, a path I've been pursuing for over 5 years. I am happy with the decisions I've made, and now I'd like to build on my progress by spending more time researching both my inner world (to find out what is truly important to me) and the outer world (to find out which career paths are actually sustainable). I would like to have discussions with like-minded people, and possibly start a groupchat on discord, in order to have a group that holds eachother accountable, since the task of self-discovery and finding direction is much harder to get into than Netflix and Youtube bingeing! Does anyone else have similar goals of discovery? If not, I'm interested to know, on a scale of 1-10, how certain you feel that the path you are currently on is right for you.

Do you have a tradition for grand final? No Is daylight saving time good or evil? Its unnecessary (I watched a video on youtube about it, which may have been inaccurate) Where is your favourite place to go during Spring time? Not a fan of this question since I live in Sydney and there's literally no seasons anymore. According to google spring is " the season after winter and before summer, in which vegetation begins to appear", so I guess I would... hmmm... I would go to Westfield Bondi junction. I like that place. What is your favourite Spring superhero? Oh lordy lord, you keep springing these questions onto me! (see what I did there). I uh... okay well, I guess... Frozone. Yeah, that's right, he still works in the spring. What would your ideal Halloween costume be? Right now I'm thinking the clicker from last of us, or maybe the shame wizard from big mouth
