1. I think it's nice to share one's problems with trusted friends. But I don't see the point of telling everyone everything. Who is that other person to dole out the acceptances? What makes them think I accept everything about THEM? I don't accept someone telling me he molests children for example. Why put myself in a position where I'm begging for others' acceptance anyway? If I avoid you, it may not be that I'm reluctant to get rejected, it could simply mean that I'm rejecting YOU. "Tolerance is Resistance to Love".
2. A bisexual lady once told me "you know how superheroes sometimes have invisibility power? Well if I could have any one superhero power, it'd be my ability to be gay." That made a lot of sense to me. Invisibility is powerful. It makes you less vulnerable to attack, just like with special effects in movies.
3. That's as far as strangers go. In terms of friendship, I agree with what you're saying about attracting fake friends. That's why I choose to keep few friends. I would rather have a few true blues than a bunch of fakers. It's no coincidence that most of my friends are either male or bi women. They're more open-minded about sexuality as I'm extremely sensitive to the sexual double standard.
4. As far as work goes, that's why I've been having such a huge problem deciding on a career. It's one thing to not bother with strangers, it's another thing when you're talking about where you spend 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, for decades. I don't come across as friendly in office situations. I come off as aloof. I don't like pretending to like those who I feel do not support who I am as a person. Why should I pretend to be a friendly team player with a bunch of bigots? You think these people would accept the fact that I'm a Satanist? No, I would be instantly fired, no questions asked. To me, that level of tolerance of other people is abuse. So now I have my work cut out for me in figuring out what to do with my life
