that's out of the question, he's cool and I like him, despite some shortcomings. (who hasn't some). I was wondering that he could be self conscious with his masculinity and has to project it to other people or just tries to "help" me.
it's not the first time he has said something like this. Should I just talk to him about it?

>the club
kek

english is not my native language, dunno how you say club/party location/disco in terms that could satisfy your merriam-webster standards.

haha, thats exactly the advice I needed, thanks bro, sometimes I need someone to talk sense into me since I tend to overthink. (especially when i'm tipsy, damn brain (probs because i'm usually chill and have a rather unhealthy portion of conflict avoidance)).
10 years ago when I was 24 my straight guy friends used to get upset with me for NOT acting faggy. They thought I was repressing or in the closet and would drag me to gay bars and pride parades trying to get me to magically turn into a glitter rainbow farting drag unicorn. Eventually they realized I was just boring and stopped wanting to hang out with me.

well, you shouldn't be their "performing monkey" in the first place, so it's cool that you stood your ground.
don't worry bro, people who conform to the societal standard are also okay, hopefully you found some good ones you can hang out with
>>8486761
>How the fuck should I proceed.
Continue not acting faggy
Stupid question

iktf
They dropped me instantly when they found the flamiest flamer they could possibly find. I just don't get it, before I came out I thought best way to keep them as friends would be just being how I normally was - fucking wrong apparently.
>>8486761
>thanks for not acting so faggy today
it means any effeminate behaviour that deviates from the normal is probably embarrassing for them in a public setting.

>my straight guy friends used to get upset with me for NOT acting faggy.
Fucking bullshit. I can sort of understand if it were girls, but I cant imagine guys straight acting like this.
>>8487289
have you ever met any actual people before?
I'm 31 and I've been hanging around the same people for the past 16 years
I mean they have to know right? I only realized this year but I'm fucking retarded.
Nobody ever said a thing about it, not even once. The biggest slut in that once said I'm asexual to her friend kek.
