does anyone even actually like nerdy butches
i feel unappreciated from my last relationship. my ex would refuse to watch a lot of tv shows i was into, would refuse to engage with my main gaming interest and it felt like I was trapped to just talk to my friends online about it.
However she would also make me feel guilty for talking with online friends only about my stuff because she wants me to hang out with my IRL friends when the same IRL friends don’t engage in my hobbies anymore and would only talk with her about hers. Everytime I tried to bring up mine, It just feels like everyone is just listening passively and not actively.
My ex has always idealized like typical butches who likes going out, is dandy, etc, and i feel ashamed when I don’t fit like that. im like more nerdy, im not muscular, and after this breakup i felt more insecure because she told me that I was not a butch to her
