im 33 years old recently learned im 2/3rd straight 1/3rd bisexual. but that's not so cut and dry.
the issue is because of this i recently learned why i deal with daily issues why everything is made more difficult why all these things go wrong around me
turns out ive been dealing with these micro aggressions for years i just could not have imagined what the root of the problem was.
life has been difficult but i never let anything get to me and i always fought my corner i i still had the ability to enjoy my life whenever i could .
Now that i am aware i see it everywhere i mean it everywhere. people treat me worse than they would treat a dog . its been in the shops in the bars in the shop centre the petrol station in my places of employment .
i always knew there was something going on why people have this inability to be coridal its im your face aggression or its trying to take away your humanity .
fuck them i dont care about any of those people
But the things people do you could never actually say this is why . because its a scenario people will always it was circumstantial.
but its not circumstantial especially when it happens in the same places.
is rhis the way it is now jist deal with conatant micro aggressions wvery single day of my life
genuine question about this as i am 33 and this is all new to me.
generally there is absolutely no one to talk to about this .
my family pretty much keep me at arms length and they just brush anything off because well they obviously know.

Hey and thanks for your post and reaching out. I am sorry you are experiencing constant micro aggressions. It's a sad fact that this happens in social, work places and other places. It's good to hear your resilience too about having the ability to enjoy your life whenever you are able to. For someone who is minortized often by micro-aggressions towards race and sexuality (albeit less so now from within my culture) I hear you. For me what has worked for me, is making sure I maintain my daily self-care, speaking to friends or professionals when I am feeling troubled or simply being part of a group, whether this is in-person or on Zoom. I know that I am enough and loved. I guess even though you might feel like there is no one to talk to - there always is. You are NOT alone. So I am going to list a few ideas below. Do stay in touch and let us know how you get on. Very best wishes for the week. Thank you for your post. www.lgbthero.org.uk/find-supportSwitchboard - 0300 330 0630, 10am-10pm - email chris@switchboard.lgbt LGBTQ+ helpline run by volunteers. Here to help you with whatever you want to talk about. Nothing is off limits. Microaggressions are the subtle everyday brief acts of discrimination that communicate hostile negative racial slights and usually rely on negative stereotypes. QTIPOC are subject to not only microaggressions linked to racism but also linked to heterosexism. QTIPOC can often experience microaggressions multiple times a day and this can leave them with feelings of isolation and frustration. This is especially difficult if you're not able to talk freely with your perpetrators about how it made you feel, and why it was so wrong. www.stonewallscotland.org.uk/about-us/news/15-things-lgbtq-people-colour-want-you-know#microaggressions
