Haida is too relatable. D: He is precious and must be protected at all costs!

i find a lot of characters from Aggretsuko to be very relatable xD I also find myself drawn to Fenneko as being someone who quietly observes; though I'll admit to have gone on drunk self-deprecating tangents over a crush (amongst other things) :'D

Would say I'm a mix of Retsuko and Haida. You better believe that on the inside I'm thinking of choking my coworkers while acting like everything is aaaaa-okay. But I am also thought of as "the nice guy" and any love interest (well the one I want) are quick to the friend zone and I'm too chicken to say what I want to say in most love situations, haha

I tend to be a bit more blunt with how I'm feeling cause I have the bad habit of letting things fester. I'm not rude about it, but I'll let someone know if something is bothering me.
I actually admitted my to my (ex)crush how I felt (which i've never done prior); he kinda lead me on for a few months and I had to really pry for him to give me a direct answer :T he said i wasn't his type, but I feel that was kind of a bs answer because around that time he was beginning to lust over another guy (and I told him from the get-go to tell me if that was the case).
But that's all in the past and looking back I was more engrossed by the idea of a relationship and definitely don't think it would've worked. Right now I really don't care about relationships xD i'm just focusing on self-growth/love right now

Haha, I envy you on the self growth! I've been stagnant for years on that front. However I myself am trying to become a bit more socialable. I really only open up when I'm drinking, and since I rarely drink anymore, that doesn't really happen. I try to ignore it and feign interest but guess I can do that forever (plus at my age one needs to start thinking about this sorta stuff!)

I found I've become a lot more social just by putting myself in social situations (like college, the gym, stores, occasionally a bar). A year ago I was nearly agoraphobic but now I enjoy meeting people :>
There really isn't any age one has to 'settle down' so to speak, it's just your dumb societal stigmas at play >:T you don't have to settle down period. I would want a relationship to develop organically instead of feeling pressured to rush in and do it for the sake of checking that off my bucket list

Haha, it's less that and more that your chances slim as you get older (especially for gays) It sucks and may be a stigma, but it's the sad truth. That said, I don't plan to ever rush it. If I'm not feeling it, it's not going to happen. I literally can't rush things (being Demisexual). That said though, maybe I'll just settle with being a crazy dog man instead. xD
