Pondering how much to queer up Thanksgiving dinner today. I don't particularly want to start an intense discussion or argument in a restaurant, but neither do I want to go 100% boy mode.

@makyo I would say "if being yourself will be treated as 'starting an argument,' then these isn't healthy company."

I, however, have been told repeatedly that mt standards are unreasonable. So, I have no idea if that's good advice or not. It's my advice, but I know very little about people or social decorum.

@orrery I'm kinda terrified of my dad, honestly c.c I totally agree with you that it isn't healthy company, though. This was no small part of the impetus to move away from CO.

@makyo All I think I can safely say at this point is that you're an adult and your own person. Ask yourself if continuing to keep someone in your life who demands -- implicitly or explicitly -- that you be someone other than yourself to appease them is right for you.

@makyo I wish you the best possible outcome, whatever you decide.

Ta kya te.
