discussion Are you able to say the words "I'm gay" to yourself in the mirror?

[Pikachoo]

I have a hard time saying it.

 

My therapist has suggested that I look in the mirror and tell myself "I'm gay". As well as giving myself compliments in the mirror to improve my self esteem but it's a lot harder than I thought

 

can you?

If I say it three times, does Troye Sivan show up in my room like Bloody Mary?

[Nico Robin]

No, I am bisexual

 

[tost1]

Well I'm not gay so I never tried 

[Kern]

can I use "I'm Ava Max stan" interchangeably? If so, then yes 

[Reginald]

Well, yes! 

 

[sweetblindness]

I'm mostly comfortable with my bi-ness...the only reason I'm not out is because I have some family members and a couple close friends that would likely be a bit judgmental about it. A few people in my circle of friends already know and I'm sure the rest can suspect it. I'm moving away later this year and plan on being out then. I have heard that repeating stuff like that in the mirror is helpful, "positive affirmations" and all (stream Affirmations by Hannah Diamond!).

my gawd the self loathing gay threads on this site have such a low vibrational energy attached to them   

[feelslikeadream]

I would try, but I'm gay so I have body dysmorphia and can't look in the mirror 💔

[smartalek22]

I did it just to make sure

 

why is ATRL all straight all of a sudden

[Bloodflowers.]

No, I don't need unexpected visitors hear me talking to myself

 

[UnusualBoy]

Yes, I can, that exercise of telling you nice things in front of the mirror works a lot to improve your self-steem, start with small things you like about your body like you eyes, mouth, etc. At the end when the lights are off who you're left with? With yourself so the best you can do is try to be in peace yourself and be your best friend.

imagine coming into a thread where someone is asking for help and tossing that word salad. Not everyone is on the same journey, get over yourself
