I was just wondering if anyone else here has "worried" about things they say to their straight friends being misconstrued. Worried is in quotes since that's too strong a word, but still fits. For example, telling a friend that a state/college/etc. hasn't been the same without them. Things that I would normally say before, but now unsure if they'll read more into it than intended. Anyone else here go through similar situations?
specific examples i cant give. however, i have a very analytic mind so, yes this happens to me frequently.
Oh hell I'm always saying stupid stuff. I if worried how people interpreted what I said I would never say anything.
Since I'm closeted, not really an issue for me. But the other day at dance practice, I actually said to one of my friends: "we're gonna totally lick the competition next year and I can't wait!" If they knew I was gay, they'd think I was a real slut :lol:
Yeah i do but mostly that's because real stupid stuff comes out of my mouth sometimes- so mostly i just worry about keeping my mouth shut :dry::icon_bigg but i also watch what i say in case it could ever hint that i'm gay (i'm extremely closeted...o well)
My straight male friends know I wouldn't make a serious pass on them because they know I know they're straight, so no, I don't worry about that.
Haha well, I have said stuff around friends that causes their eyebrows to raise, but I usually tell them they're not my type anyway, and that ends that discussion!
I don't understand the op. Does he mean talking with same sex friends that could be misinterpreted as flirting?
This. If I say something that could be interpreted in the wrong way then they even go with it and make a joke out of it. Sometimes they will be the ones saying it and then I'll give them a hard time for it haha its all in good fun
