my bsf and I met on an app 😭 and now I just meet people in my area through her. honestly I just started being shameless, I’d see other queer people in public & I’d either talk them up or—if I didn’t have time or it would be awkward to talk right then—I’d just say “hey you look cool/chill, you wanna be friends?” or some variation

I still made most of my friends through mutual ones with the first, though a couple I just talked to out in public. being visibly queer tends to draw people to you as well, though that hasn’t happened yet

happened to me yet* however it seems to make it a lot easier to make friends when I’m the one approaching lol. we’re all scared of each other, but taking that first step myself has been much more reliable since I started being visibly queer/nb

so real. I feel like i both pass as cis and also ping queer but i kinda just look like a hippie. I just don’t know how to approach people or make friends with other people who might also be queer it just feels like im imposing. I probably have anxiety there to work through, but it just sucks
