#profoundly lonely experience of being implicitly and explicitly rejected by your family
Text
.
#today i was in a group of students (we barely know each other)#and one of them was telling a 'funny story' about how his mother tried her best to avoid telling the rest of the family that#he has a boyfriend because they are 'very right wing'#(i live in spain. you can fill in the blanks)#and the sadness and shame behind that story flew over some people's heads#for context he is a very charismatic and charming person and a very good storyteller#but he also had some other 'funny stories' about his family basically not giving two shits about his wellbeing#and i thought that it was very obvious that he was trying to repackage and handle through humour what's basically a#profoundly lonely experience of being implicitly and explicitly rejected by your family#and another guy replied to the first story 'i would just tell them'#like no you wouldn't#and then the guy that was telling the story told him that you can't just go ahead and come out when you're financially dependent#on your family and that you can't just cut all ties with them like that because they are your family#and this guy is a very well-meaning person generally#but he just doesn't get it#so many things that i thought were obvious to straight people are apparently not#because many of them laughed at that story as if it were nothing
