I'm doing okay I just want to share something.

๐Ÿ‘

And diet is good for everybody regardless of condition. A healthy body helps lead to a healthy brain.
Like you said- it's not going to miraculously cure anything, but it helps significantly more than people generally give it credit for.

Bashing a person on one side or another is not okay under any circumstance. Political debates are difficult because people get really fired up, which is understandable. Letโ€™s just do our best to keep the discussion civil and fact-focused, centralized on the discussion rather than antagonizing any other users.

,My question is not political nor do I think I am bashing anyone.
And I still would like an answer to my question. From anyone; gun owner or not.

Wasn't referring to anybody specifically. Just a message to the thread as a whole. ๐Ÿ™‚

Although to be honest- I'm having trouble interpreting your question. Might be good to clarify some. ๐Ÿ˜‰

Glad to hear. ๐Ÿ˜Š

But one thing to keep in mind, especially when people are in the teenage years- "experimenting" really means they're just wanting to give things a test run. That means it's quite likely that they won't want to continue forever, they may not be interested in a relationship, and even if they are, they may get uncomfortable and call things off.
Try to resist getting too attached too quickly, as many teenagers do. You don't want to put your whole self into the relationship just to have him run away. So be careful.

And welcome to Help-QA. ๐Ÿ˜ We're glad to have you and hope you stick around!

Well- to be frank, it's nobody's business but your own and those you choose to share with.
You don't have to "come out" to date, experiment, or even have an intimate relationship.

That said- most people these days are very open to this sort of thing. Unless you've got a very religious family who have openly stated that they don't agree with people living that sort of life, it's likely your loved ones will love and accept you no matter what. As far as general society, you'll get a couple oppressors, but for the most part nobody is going to be too harsh. After a slight adjustment period, I think things will calm down.
But no rush. Like I said- you don't have to come out before you're ready, no matter what you do or who you do it with.

What makes you hesitant?

i want to get back rolling on the positive yang train.

1) Avoid canned material. It always gets old.

Instead, learn things about people. People love to talk about themselves. (Even the ones that say they don't.)
A great conversation starter is asking people about what they do for work. (Or if they're at work, ask about what they do for fun in their free time.)
If it's somebody you see often, you can ask how work or their hobbies are going. Do they have groups they meet up with for hobbies, what's changed recently, etc. As an anti-social, not-talker myself, I find it easiest to just do what I can to keep them talking. If you can keep them talking- they'll think you're a nice person. Just how it goes. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ Pay attention to what they say and try to ask for more details about the things that they seem to get the most excited about.

2) Pep talks are very easy. Just be annoyingly optimistic.

When somebody talks about something negative, apologize/sympathize with their pain. Then look for a silver lining. If they're complaining about a person, brush off the other person's bad attitude by saying- maybe they had a bad day. Maybe they meant well but their intentions were misunderstood. Maybe they have a hard time expressing themselves and they get frustrated by that fact. Don't go into details about the bad stuff. Let people get it off their chest, then talk about the good things- even when things are negative. Never say anything bad about anybody. Even when you're furious at them. Instead, think about why they did that. Chances are they didn't want to be misunderstood or ignored or told they're wrong, so they hide between a wall of mean.

3) Practice 1 and 2 on yourself. Ask yourself about your day. After each day, "rehearse" all of the good things and good people that happened during the day. Even if it's - "That old guy I saw smiled like he's never been hurt. That's really impressive." Talk about those things to yourself. Take note of all of the good details. Don't fuss over anything that irked you. If somebody bothered you, think of an excuse/reason why they may have acted that way instead of just dismissing them as mean.
