To be fair I still do these things but only when I’m alone.
Personally I love finding big puddles and then dig drains with a stick or my heel and watch the water flow.
Also love to throw a piece of wood into water and then toss stones high up in the air and try hit it imagining it’s a warship I’m trying to bomb.
Then also without going into details there are some pieces of clothing I would like to wear but don’t because they’re considered femine or gay.
Personally, I’d love to give streaming a go, the Twitch kind. I like playing games and I want to share my time with others, but social anxieties say otherwise
As a pretty much nobody streamer man on twitch, not even affiliate yet (I’m so close yet so far), I also struggle with social anxiety but find that streaming has been pretty easy for me. It’s different than actually having to interact with people face to face, so it feels more like talking on a thread than irl interaction.
Of course that’s just my experience and my anxieties may be on a much lower level than yours, but I recommend giving it a go if you think you’d have fun with it!
I used to stream a bit back in the justin.tv days and I would usually only get a handful of viewers but even to this day, it was some of the most unique gaming experiences I had. I used to try and play games that no one was streaming/talking about and a couple of times I actually ended up with the devs watching the stream and those were such great memories.
One time, I played this flash game where you had timed “lives” and the dev was watching (without me knowing) when I ran out of lives. I mentioned I’d be going to play something else while I waited for my lives to come back and he sent me a DM telling me that he would go and remove the timer so I could keep playing if I wanted.
That being said, I haven’t streamed since then and I’m honestly not even sure how I’d start again. I don’t think I’d ever enjoy having a large audience but I definitely enjoyed playing with a few people helping out on what to do next.
I’d be more comfortable with physical contact. I’m NB, but most people still perceive me and treat me as a man (even though I’ve said many times that I’m not) and that comes with the stigma of keeping distance.
I also love to play with LEGOs, it’s kind of therapeutical I guess. It’s just me, talking about random things. It’s the same with videogames, I mostly play RPGs, but it isn’t as “weird”.
BTW, while I’m non-binary, I’m still involved in man’s problems because I live them for my appearence. I also help some male friends with their problems with masculininty and feminism, so they don’t end up being redpilled alpha sigma males lol

It’s actually a very easy way to get other people sick, unfortunately.

I know viruses spread very well. Covid for instance
People get viruses like RSV + spread so much and they don’t even know

He asked a colleague to break wind directly onto two Petri dishes from a distance of 5 centimeters, first fully clothed, then with his trousers down. Then he observed what happened. Overnight, the second Petri dish sprouted visible lumps of two types of bacteria that are usually found only in the gut and on the skin. But the flatus which had passed through clothing caused no bacteria to sprout, which suggests that clothing acts as a filter.
Well I’ll be damned!
Just keep your pants on I guess.
Viruses can go thru pants, for sure.
In a lengthy and seemingly humorous yet serious article on its WeChat account, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) of Tongzhou district in Beijing clarified that farts, normally, do not constitute another transmission route of COVID-19, unless someone takes a good and rather close sniff of gas from a pantless patient.
Seems not.
Do you need a link?
Why is that more far fetched than sneezes? It’s wet airborne biological matter you expel from your body.
Why do you think people’s natural reaction to farts is digust? Is that something people should be breathing in? Especially in an enclosed environment with such bad ventilation you have to inhale ass exhalations?
Yea they do spread by farts. I’m saying I’m not as sure about bacteria.
This is a good one, but I think it’s not all shame. Concealing farts in public is a game of skill. You must consider how to position your body so that no sound is made. How quiet is the area you’re in? Are there others around who could conceal the true farter? Are you able to discreetly move to another location so that by the time the smell arrives you’re no longer a suspect?
You also take into account your last eaten foods and recent farts and how they may result in large smell or sometimes no smell. It’s a big game of strategy and execution to be a covert farter.
I used to find it funny and do it around friends/family, but more recently the smell has been far more disgusting to me and I have to put on an N95 or leave the room. It’s unfortunate that I have a lost a source of such jollity and mirth.
As soon as you leave high school, if not before, you should be your own person. Blaming others for things you want to do isn’t healthy and shouldn’t be used as an excuse.
This comment reminds me of telling a depressed individual to “just smile more”.
That would absolutely be the opposite of what I’m saying. Don’t do things for others, do things for yourself.
Thanks, I’m cured!
True. But not possible for everyone. Hence the millions of therapists out there being busy .
Yea agreed. Therapy while improving material conditions of society would go a long way.
Depending on what OP wants to wear and where they live it could be dangerous.
Tell this to those that were bullied for being themselves. Not just in high school, but as adults. You’ll find plenty in the comment section.
You’re right. And yet people still do it. Hence this post.
Nothing. I truly do not give a fuck anymore.
The key is to accept there will be social consequences and to ignore them. Once people see the consequences they impose do not affect you, especially after they escalate which they will do at first, they’ll stop and accept your behavior.

Not about being judged but I was planning on starting my YouTube channel last September. I got hit by a pickup truck on my way to work riding my bike and I haven’t made a video since. In fact I took down all my planned videos and deleted them. I regret that but I wasn’t at all prepared to make and manage a channel when i couldn’t even manage my own bathroom breaks by myself. I was embarrassed and shamed and didn’t think I was capable of making videos anymore.
I’m ready to start again though. I’ve already started by doing some YouTube shorts just to get people a little interested and see what type of content they like engaging with. So far my “practicing piano” shorts are the most popular which was surprising because I’m not great at playing 😅
Thinking out loud
Answering this question is any deeper way that this lmao
You desire to kick grannies don’t you?
You don’t?
I’ve been into BDSM stuff since I was a kid basically, but I’ve always been to embarrassed to tell anyone or act on it because it’s some seriously kinky shit.

Crime, I don’t like being judged as guilty.
Don’t worry about what people think about you. They’re too worried about what you think about them.
not much these days. ever since I realised people will judge you even if you don’t do anything. e.g. I used to be shy because i was worried about what they’d think of me when i spoke. this caused them to think I’m shy. so I made a decision that I’d rather have people judge me for who I am rather than for someone I’m not.
I’m so scared to be seen, that I can’t even go for a walk. I also want to get skateboard, but I can’t for the same reason. I’m terrified to be seen alone, or just seen in general.
Yet despite this, somehow I’m the opposite of that and manage a bunch of girls with compete confidence when I’m at work. I also have to deal with a ton of customers and don’t even hesitate to say no or let them have negative judgement to me. I’m very socially competent and meet new people all the time without fear of rejection and opening up. I definitely stand out, in a good way.
Yet I’m scared of them simply watching me going for a walk outside??
I’d seek help, don’t want to tell people what’s normal and what’s not, but that’s definitely a slight deviation from the norm and it’s not helpful to you
That’s what it’s like to have GAD
Or being traumatized from being autistic and getting side eyes, snickers, giggles, eye rolls, scoffs, and bullying whenever you committed some social faux pas.
I remember I couldn’t even use earphones on the street or on school because I thought people were going to look at me more, even thought everybody uses them
Interesting. I’m not scared of being seen but I like to not be seen. I spend a lot of time in nature and I always wear only earth tones. I like it when other people pass me up close but fail to notice me. I wonder if it has something to do with my voyeuristic tendencies. I love to just sit in a cafe to and watch people passing by.
Sounds like you’re still a kid at heart. I’ve got a 2yr old and I immensely enjoy playing these sorts of games with him. My wife always jokes that I’m using the sandbox more than him, she even snapped a couple of pics of me playing alone in there.
What kind of clothes are you talking about? A skirt on a man is still pretty courageous, but if you’re talking about a pink shirt just go for it. You’ll not be judged.
What kind of clothes are you talking about?
Overknee socks, crop tops, tiny shorts, speedos, yoga pants …
I’m perfectly aware that it’s not that others care that’s holding me back but the fact that I care. Doesn’t make it any easier though.
Overknee socks, crop tops, tiny shorts, speedos, yoga pants …
There’s quite a few guys who dress like this where I live and I find they are often not single.
Ayy, speedos gang! May others avert their eyes if they can’t handle me and all my sexiness, and may the rest of you, girls or guys, enjoy the eye candy.
Regarding the original question, while I’m already running around in speedos, I absolutely wouldn’t mind some more colorful clothes, or perhaps some final fantasy/guild wars inspired clothing. Like those outer coats that go all the way to your shoes, but with decorations and stuff. But I feel that the included judging is a commitment I’m not ready for yet.
