Old friend has been nasty (original) (raw)

"Maybe I should not announce what I think I may be until about a month or so later....."

well, it depends on what you mean by "announce"....

if you decide on something and then go shout it from the rooftops and then change your mind a couple days later, then well it *is* going to look like you are indecisive, because you are, and all passer-by will be made aware of it... but talking about it with a couple of good friends (offline) or typing it into your personal journal (in filtered, not-public posts) is not shouting-from-rooftops, its just mulling things over and taking the time to write it out and think on it among friends...

you are still un-decided on a lot of things (a lot of folks are) but you are less likely to get such a negative response if you keep these thoughts to yourself and among folks who will be understanding of what you are going through, and mature enough to not sit there name calling you in a public arena...

if this friend does not like this aspect of you, i think you might want to filter this person from the posts where you talk about your otherkin thoughts/postings....

you're new to LJ, do you know how to set up the friends filters?

"Not only this, but she will not be happy to know that I am a tree....."

its none of her damn business....

if someone is homophobic it is not your responsibility to subject yourself to abuse if you happen to be gay, and *make* you come out to them...

if this person is not supportive of this part of you, then keep them from that part of your life... their loss.
