Does anyone want to be friends with me (16F)? I love biology and chemistry. Hobbies — writing and reading. I don’t really know what to say about my personality…

Am I weird for not wanting to drink until I turn 21?
Where I (20) live, it’s illegal to drink or smoke if you’re under 21, and I’m choosing to follow this law. But almost all of my friends and family members have drank or smoked while underage and I feel kind of like a black sheep. Everyone seems to respect my wishes, although when my dad offers me a sip of alcohol and I say no, he’s like “c’mon! you only have a couple more months until you’re 21”.
Am I “different” for not wanting to participate in underage drinking or smoking?
I think I figured out why we are all so obsessed with the 80-90s and Y2K
Honestly I think our obsession with the past is getting kind of deep. It isn't just about childhood memories anymore. I think we are all just collectively terrified of the future. The 90s and even 2007 feel like a safe point. It is the time before everything got so unpredictable and messy. Now we have sequels and remakes and Y2K fashion everywhere because the present doesn't have a clear shape. It is like culture is just stuck on a loop re-recording the past over and over.
Digital culture turned the past into this infinite archive. Now people feel nostalgic for eras they weren't even alive for. We consume these old aesthetics because they feel solid and whole. It is a symptom of anxiety really. When you can't imagine a better future you just hide in a safe past. Am I just overthinking this or does everyone else feel like we are just reliving an old dream because we don't know where we are going?
I am tired of being just an object.
I am so tired of being just “sex”. From the day I was born, my family used to tell me to cover up my legs and dress modest and explain how important purity is.
I grew up and I fell in love. I thought he was the one and I put him in the center of my life. That love broke me into million pieces. I wanted to have sex with him but it did not work. Turns out I had a condition called vaginismus. We broke up after few months.
I got another boyfriend, I was thrilled to fall in love again. He raped me orally. Strangled me and gave me an emotional trauma.
Then I just decided to date. Just date. And during these time I realized that most men just saw me as sex. And it is sad because i feel so dehumanized.
After a year of dating, I got into a relationship with someone else. It was pretty short. The sex was possible, but sometimes It would hurt a bit. Last time we had sex he gave me a vaginal tear, caused a bleeding and next day dumped me.
I thought I would never be able to have sex. I did not eat for a week. I was just numbing myself.
Unfortunately, I met someone else after him as well. This time I thought I made the right choice and he was good for me. I thought we adored each other. He was v
Something you enjoy now that you didn't expect to
Could be an activity, routine, or mindset you didn't think you'd like at first. I think we all have those things that initially seemed like they wouldn't be for us, but then somehow we ended up enjoying them more than we expected. It's interesting how our preferences can change over time. For me, I never thought I'd enjoy cooking, but after trying it out of necessity, I found it to be quite therapeutic. There's something satisfying about following a recipe and creating something edible, and now I genuinely look forward to meal prep time. Was there ever something you thought you'd hate but ended up enjoying? What changed your mind about it? Do you think you were wrong about your initial judgment, or did the activity itself grow on you over time? And do you have other things on your list that you're skeptical about but might be willing to try?
About seeing another super tall girl like me in public and having her infectious energy boost my confidence
For context I’m six foot and I’ve always been insecure about it. I always try to make myself smaller when I’m in public especially around shorter girls. I’ve even had men unconsciously straighten up their posture when walking past me idk if they wanna assert dominance or what but regardless it makes me feel worse.
I was wearing a regular pair of converse (not the platform ones just a plain white pair because I hateee shoes that give me extra height) when I spotted this gorgeous tall queen 😭she was like all dressed up in a goth getup. so we clock each other and it’s like yeahhh I see u!! I probably looked like a lunatic smiling at her but rly I just loved her energy and I wanted to have the confidence like her to express myself AND wear platform shoes !!
my friends are all like 5’3-5’6 and I feel like a giant when I hang out with them. but I kinda feel better now 😭
soo like regardless of ur height ur amazing and ily queen
