To be fair I still do these things but only when I’m alone.

Personally I love finding big puddles and then dig drains with a stick or my heel and watch the water flow.

Also love to throw a piece of wood into water and then toss stones high up in the air and try hit it imagining it’s a warship I’m trying to bomb.

Then also without going into details there are some pieces of clothing I would like to wear but don’t because they’re considered femine or gay.

    Pretty much that last paragraph of yours.

    I don’t care if people see me as childish, weird, or even dumb. I do lots of things that make me seem all of those things.

    But that makes me hesitate for some reason.

    I did open up about it to some friends I was sure wouldn’t judge, and it helped a lot.

        Skirts, dresses, thigh highs, crop tops, and just generally the womens section of the clothing store. So many items there that are a lot more interesting than what the mens section has to offer.

          That reminds me of men’s haircuts. If you’re sticking to traditional short hair you basically just walk in and go… Okay, how much longer do I want the top than the sides and do I want a fade or a hard line? And that’s pretty much it.

          Going for longer hair as a guy just gives you so many more options.

            I’m so annoyed by hair… I want to let mine grow so bad, but pollen/dustmite allergies and long hair is an awful combination

              It’s definitely got a lot of caveats. For me, it is annoying to need to put my hair up every time I eat, otherwise I eat my hair. But I love the way it feels moving around and if you have any social anxiety it conceals your face when you look down, which can be helpful as an instant hideaway.

              But yes, it is definitely many times less manageable than short hair. However… I don’t have bedhead ever!

      This is a good one, but I think it’s not all shame. Concealing farts in public is a game of skill. You must consider how to position your body so that no sound is made. How quiet is the area you’re in? Are there others around who could conceal the true farter? Are you able to discreetly move to another location so that by the time the smell arrives you’re no longer a suspect?

      You also take into account your last eaten foods and recent farts and how they may result in large smell or sometimes no smell. It’s a big game of strategy and execution to be a covert farter.

          I know viruses spread very well. Covid for instance

          People get viruses like RSV + spread so much and they don’t even know

              He asked a colleague to break wind directly onto two Petri dishes from a distance of 5 centimeters, first fully clothed, then with his trousers down. Then he observed what happened. Overnight, the second Petri dish sprouted visible lumps of two types of bacteria that are usually found only in the gut and on the skin. But the flatus which had passed through clothing caused no bacteria to sprout, which suggests that clothing acts as a filter.

              Well I’ll be damned!

              Just keep your pants on I guess.

                  In a lengthy and seemingly humorous yet serious article on its WeChat account, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) of Tongzhou district in Beijing clarified that farts, normally, do not constitute another transmission route of COVID-19, unless someone takes a good and rather close sniff of gas from a pantless patient.

                  Seems not.

    As soon as you leave high school, if not before, you should be your own person. Blaming others for things you want to do isn’t healthy and shouldn’t be used as an excuse.
