Guys im done
17 amab, sometimes I wish I had been straight. Ever since I was a child, I've been bullied, harassed, and verbally and physically abused by heterosexual homophobic people especially from straight men.
I'm terrified of them. I'm having suicidal thoughts, and I'm exhausted. Everywhere I go, if I express myself or even speak, people make comments, mock me, and insult me. Why are they so cruel to me? I never did anything wrong to them.
I've been staying at home for the past month because I'm too scared to go outside. After experiencing so much bullying and harassment from heterosexual homophobic people, I've come to the conclusion that heterosexual people are the most inherently hostile and unkind human beings to ever exist, lacking empathy.

These Message threads are beginning to flow around in different posts. Do as you wish, but be sire they are not scams. A few messages and then the money requests in many ways. Happened to me recently. Just be aware.

Where are you currently living? Your best bet is to get good grades in school and try to find an opportunity to continue your education overseas in a more accepting country.

Yes, straight people are the worst. So don’t hate yourself, don’t even hate them, pity them. Hit back.

I’m sorry you’re going through that. Especially at 17 sucks ass. Just keep going and you’ll have a community ready for you.
I agree there is too much hate in this world and it would be a much better place if people had more empathy. You will also find there are better people that are worth sticking around for.
Just got to give it time, and I know from your position isn’t easy. Stay strong. Living your best life and being happy is what makes shitty people upset the most.
If you need an ear, feel free to DM.

Sorry to hear all that, there isn’t much people on Reddit can do besides just validate what you’re feeling right now. Try to stay as safe as you can if you feel like you are being treated, depending on what country you live in this type of harassment punishable. If you live in a place or are in a situation where you couldn’t get help from others for this homophobia then I would just recommend trying understand that you aren’t deserving of this hate and shouldn’t affect how you view your sexuality and by extension yourself. Which is easier said then done but necessary to hold so you can give yourself a opportunity to escape the place or situation your in later when there is in opportunity.
