The inner dialogues of a wallflower

This is a blog that contains all of my thoughts and ways that I view the world. A journal of sorts.

So here we go first post. I don't know what this blog is gonna be about. It's gonna contain a lot of my thoughts and views which is weird considering the site this blog is on. Of course, I will include my thoughts as a submissive and include submissive stuff in general as I continue to learn more an expand my horizons in that department. However, I feel this blog must go beyond that. I'm a submissive but I'm also human.

 

So something I don't understand is how people and the world needs to see things in black and white, boxes, categories, labels, etc. Obviously, I'm speaking generally not everyone sees the world this way but in my experience people more often than not view the world like this. People seem to think that people are simple and that the world isn't as complex as it actual is. They, for the lack of a better term, want to put other people in a box store it away an not think any further on it. When in reality that person is much more than that box that they were put in.

 

For example, I'm a straight white male but I'm interested in trans-women meaning male to female. Not in a creepy way or that I'm a "chaser" but in the way where I see them as an a potential relationship partner. Same thing as a cis-woman. If I meet a woman who I'm interested in an she happens to be trans then that's fine. It doesn't matter if she is pre-op, post-op, or non-op. What matters is who she is as a person. Same thing goes for cis-women if I find a woman that I'm interested in an she is a cis-woman then that's fine too. However, the world or society or whatever doesn't seem to think that idea is okay. That those ideals can't exist at the same time in one person. The view point is if you're interested in trans-women and you're a guy then you're gay. First off, it's 2020 there's nothing wrong with being gay in the first place but the reality is that's not the truth. The truth is way more complex than that. The truth is that you view both cis-women and trans-women as equal options for a partner. You're open to both of them an you're okay with whichever way it works out.

 

Or another example. I'm a metal head. I love metal music, metal events, metal culture, etc. People view metal heads as violent, angry, church burning, devil worshipers. While that may be true in some situations it's not the reality. The reality is most metal heads are the coolest people I've ever met. They're some of the most chill, caring, and understanding people out there. Most of them are also against violence of any kind towards any body as well. Myself I'm a very shy, quiet, sensitive, and feelings driven guy. The complete opposite of the stereotype. Hell, even me being submissive as a guy goes against what people view a "man" as but that's a whole separate blog post

 

I don't understand how people can put others in boxes or categories so easily. The world is a very complex, deep place. There's so much more meaning to things than people know. I don't understand why it seems so obvious to me an not everyone else. Please everyone remember that the world is full of grey areas. It's not black and white an that is a wonderful thing.

 

P.S. I'm speaking in a very general terms in this post. It's just easier to write people or the world than explain it every time. I realize not everyone does this or views the world in such a way. It's just in my experience they do.

 

Anyways. Cheers, have a great one!

somethingclever​(sub female){Searching} - As someone who analyzes both sides while trying to remain in the grey, I find it can be challenging and sometimes frustrating to find empathetic people who actively strive to see the grey in situations that they are in (or surround them). Best of luck with your blog!

The Advocate​(sub male) - Thank you! I agree with you. I find that it can be a frustrating challenge to find people with that level of empathy as well. However, I believe they're out there an that they are worth finding. As you said you are one of them for example which is a great thing!

rosethorn​(sub female) - Thanks for sharing. People are individuals, each to their own, no two people are alike, the important thing is you get along.
Im starting to think labels and boxes are not helpful when trying to address stereotypes and am pondering if they can have the opposite effect as people can be grouped together, then the individual gets lost in a crowd... i mean this in a lot of areas. (Just something im pondering in general atm) thanks for sharing xx

The Advocate​(sub male) - No problem. Thank you for taking the time to read it! I honestly didn't expect that anyone would pay attention to this so it's cool to see the comments as well as hear what others think about it.

I completely agree with you. People are individuals an each have their own complexities which is the way it should be. In fact, people being different is what makes people fascinating, in my eyes at least. The differences between people shouldn't matter. What matters is if you can get along. You don't necessarily have to be best friends with each other but at the very least you should peacefully coexist with one another an accept that people being different from you is okay.

rosethorn​(sub female) - It is awesome when you do get to that point in a relationship of being like besties tho watching your fave tv show together. :). Everyone is unique, be a very boring world if everyone was the same. Thats what go me thinking about how labels can be unintentional stereotypes sometimes, everyone has different thoughts and ideas too. I love talking to people who have different ideas on things like tech (we don't always agree) but its really interesting to talk about. Im a bit of a nerd sorry. Welcome to cage :)

The Advocate​(sub male) - Thank you, I'm excited to be here! No worries, I'm a nerd myself just in a different way lol.

This is true the world would be very boring if everyone was the same. That's why I find people fascinating because everyone has their own quirks, their own thoughts an idea, their own little niches that make them who they are. It's like when a friend and I have watched the same movie, read the same comic, listened to same song, etc. I get one meaning from it but their meaning that they took from it is totally different an is something I never would have thought of. That's just so interesting to me an I really enjoy those differences in people.

The Advocate​(sub male) - I have heard of Tenent and have heard good things about it as well. I definitely need to watch it.

I also don't think any two people who watch the same film will see it the same way or any two people who listen to the same song will interpret it the same way but that's the beauty of it. That's the beauty in people being so complex. Everyone's perspective is different and there's no right or wrong answer.
