in the spirit of pride month, this concept applies to literally everyone: you cannot control who you’re attracted to, but you CAN control the actions you take after feeling attracted

this and whenever I don’t like a person that’s not a straight white man, for reasons that have nothing to do with their race, sexual orientation, or gender, and then I convince myself I’m a terrible, racist, homophobic, sexist person 💔

Whenever I find someone aesthetically attractive I tell my man and we respectfully gawk at them together

You’ve convinced yourself that you’re all these negative things because it’s comfortable and we’ve all been tricked into thinking criticism is reality when you’re just bullying yourself. Be kind to your self

Obviously I’m not going to do anything about it. And what I mean is that I found one other guy somewhat attractive but in no way prefer him over my boyfriend

i think ya’ll misunderstood my question. it wasn’t a “what are you planning?” suspicious kind of question it was more of a “if you see another attractive guy, what would you do next?” kind of question.
