  • i dropped outta high school so i could hitchhike across the country and play my banjo on the streets instead of being a wage slave

    • How did that work out long term?

      Was always playing with the idea, but settled for a longer hike in my 20s through Europe.
      Now I've at least exited the hamster wheel by being self employed, so I have the illusion of freedom.
      But money is still needed obviously.

      So, how do you do?

      • i dunno, life has ups and downs, i prefer the way i live to what i was doing before, i nearly killed myself. i guess i need money, but like i can also choose not to have it if i want, all i really need is food and water in the end, easy enough to get.

  • I'm a single, disabled, LGBT feminist who loves cuddly toys and I'm often described as eccentric. I'm pretty unconventional really, it doesn't bother me although it used to

    • I'm punk 🤘
    • I sleep with a little stuffed penguin my mom got me ❤️
    • When I tell non Brits that I live in the UK, they assume I live in a place like Devon or something. where I live there's graffiti literally everywhere lol I don't mind it, even though my city is infamous for being boring and rough
    • I can eat spicy food without it ever affecting my stomach

  • I run a business in a male dominated field, have a stay at home husband, and two autistic kids. My dog has 1 eye and 4 teeth - and will try to bite you. I drive a comically small car.

  • Afab, my most notable unconventional trait is that 90% of the time, I'm the tallest person anywhere I go. The exception is usually concerts, and those men are never that much taller than me in those cases.

  • I have a third nipple

    • I once knew a girl with 4 nipples, she very enthusiastically showed them to me once ... and I completely missed a great opportunity by being amazed and then carrying on with my day.

      I am not a smart woman.

  • I'm all sorts of unusual; polyamorous, pan/reciprosexual, quoiromantic, nonbinary transgender, autistic/ADHD, anarcho-socialist, humanities baccalaureate, some postgrad in compsci and futures studies, fintech-worker, sneptaur furry, etc etc etc. XD

    I can do a good job of pretending to fit in, thankfully, but masking takes a lot of effort and I prefer just quietly being the weirdest person in the room. It's amazing how much people can ignore when reality fails to abide by their expectations, and how much thembo-titty can pass by unnoticed when it's attached to a moustashioed person. XD

  • It's hard to pin specific things, but I'd say my friendships. I only like to befriend people that are kinda difficult to befriend and will go out of my way to get to know them

  • We're non-human relationship anarchists more towards the solo end of polyamory who are deeply demi*, 'just' autistic, and dyspraxic but can dance well if it's our own moves.

    We don't like being cruel or mean at all, we also hate lying except to 'authority', we believe strongly in a lack of hierarchy and open sharing of knowledge and skills and resources instead, and wish for a better life for all in a better system than the current one.

    We don't want fame, shorter form videos and other shorter media usually aren't as interesting as longer ones to us, we like quiet calm things and we genuinely care about a lot of things.

    It takes us a long time to feel comfortable around others, and we think people etc should be less individualistic and ego driven and help each other more.

    We didn't do well in standard institutions of learning and therefore think the current education model is broken and thus should look something similar to actual unschooling,

    We believe strongly in youth liberation and think the way most younglings are treated is appaling.

    We like low conflict stories, or at least ones where characters actually do their best to actually resolve the conflict by talking to each other and work on themselves, instead of not doing that.

    We take the time to look into things.

    Our 'core' special interests have never really changed.

    We do not at all like coffee or any form of it, and find a lot of water not nice to drink unless filtered or flavoured in some way.

    We don't at all like the gender binary.

    We strongly believe the current system of 'justice' in this world is not actual justice and would prefer restorative and transformative justice instead of the current extremely broken and awful model.

    We use 'neo' pronouns for some of us.

    We don't believe that the 'family' we were born etc into, nor others were born etc into is somehow magical or special, if they want good relationships then they must all work at it (especially those that hold the power in it) instead of expecting it to magically go well somehow.

    We prefer story-based or cooperative games, and in general dislike competition which is why both sports, and competitive tv shows tend to not be at all interesting to us.

    That's all we can think of for now. Hope that was what you were asking for!

    *demisexual, demiromantic, demiaffectionate, demisensual and demikinky

    • Heck, there's a lot of that which we have in common. The only differences being that I'm not plural, (maybe. Not sure if the term is entirely accurate 'cuz it's only one personality but there are a lot of me in here.), I can get comfortable with people rather quickly when the vibes are harmonious, I use any pronouns, and I like roguelite bullet heaven games lately. =D

    • Sorry for maybe sounding ignorant, but I just never got the reason to describe myself as "we" as that would mean plural for me - so either in a majestic way or lunatic way ;⁠-⁠)

      What's the difference to just say everything with "I'm"
      As far as I understand "I" isn't gender specific, so wouldn't matter what you identify with, but at least it's singular and matching for the single person I'm speaking with.

      What do I miss here?
      Thanks upfront for the clarification!

      • So plurality is not 'lunacy' but a mental difference, in which there are multple entities or people etc living in the same brain/body. It can either be disordered or not, that being the crux of whether it's a 'problem' or not. Though even if it is disordered that can be resolved without destroying etc the rest of the people/entities through therapy, like most mental health difficulties can (though to be clear the plurality is not the mental health difficulty in and of itself, but in disordered systems the thing behind why they exist in the first place is the mental health difficulty).

        The difference is we are plural, but not the disordered type. If you'd like to learn more then you can here: https://morethanone.info/.

        We hope this helps!

      • they might identify as "plural"

  • I was homeschooled by my conservative mother from 1st-12th grade. And I have worked/taught at public schools for 10 years.
