But I think having gay friends is healthy and necessary for personal development and relatability as fags. I never had a solid group of gay friends before until I moved to NYC and now I see how necessary it is to have that.
In college i had a group of Black SGL friends, I didn't value it as much until I moved here. It is/was very tough to connect with other Blk gays here but when I finally connected with some folks I really valued the ethos we would create.
I prefer bonding with others like me. I can befriend anyone though. Whites only can get but so close tho lolz
I just feel so out of place when it comes to being around a lot of gay guys at one time and that's why I feel the way I do. Outside of my core circle of gay male friends you see me posted with all the time on social media, you won't see me with too many.
Like even in gay clubs, I'm off to myself.
Understandable. I think that's most of us. Im not saying link up with people you don't have a rapport with. I know our community has a LOT of issues but I enjoy myself most -socially- when Im surrounded by other Blk SGL men and there's no best.
You really have to be vigorous, persistent, & diligent to find meaningful connections with other gay blk men in general. Hell, with any relationship with anyone tbh. I feel you.
People act all offended when I say the things I say when it's regarding this. Most of my experiences with gay guys, mainly the more effeminate ones were all bad. I don't care if you're masculine or feminine, if you're cool, then we can be cool. It's just that I can't deal with the cattiness, the shadiness and all that because I'm really a laid back guy. So that's why I hate attending all gay functions and all that cause it's never a positive situation for me. Just like I'm an odd one on this board. It's the same way in real life with the gay guys.
No I understand where your coming from. I guess I stopped feeling that way when I had more positive experiences with other Blk gay men and when I also started understanding why some gays act the way that they act. For me, Im just at an event to enjoy myself and my people. If someone wants to be shady or catty then that's on them. I can't control how they act but I can control how I respond. Understanding that really helped me pay things instead of the alternatives lol.
I don't think you're the odd one on this board. Also, Idk what you're expecting to happen when we link but you're going to be around my black gay ass friends and we're going to have a great time.
Well see you have self-control. I'm still learning how to control my anger
, so all that shade and cattiness will lead into something else with me and then I wouldn't be proud of myself after that, so that's why I stay away lol
And I'm not gonna lie, when you and I discussed hanging out, the first thing I thought of, "I wonder if he's gonna have a bunch of fags around and then I'mma have to fight one of them for being shady"
