    I've been getting really frustrated, because people are imposing a lot of gender roles and gay stereotypes on me. I was having a heart to heart with my friend and showed him text messages about my guy issues, and he says...."oh...so you're the bitch in the relationship?"
    I swear to god it took all I had not to smack the shit out of him.
    I believe that any relationship is functional whether there's a dominant partner or not.
    I also have a question. When I'm with my friends, my personality changes to a more flamboyant version of myself, but when I'm with my family or out in public, I'm more laid back and "straight-acting" I feel comfortable both ways, is that weird? Am I the only one that's like that?

    Lol I would have smacked the shit out of him XD
    Oh man would that be satisfying to just smack him
    And everybody I know acts different with family than with friends myself included.

    I'm a social chameleon. I don't mean to alter how I act, talk, and even flirt based on ego is around me, but that is the way it happens. So I'm a lot more "straight acting" around family as well.
