Me [22 F] lesbian feeling resentful towards my straight friends, but I don't want to be!

I'm not talking about within my group of friends either.

I could probably pick out at least a dozen people where I work, and those are the ones I know about. They're not friends, just aquaintences.

When we go out to eat? That pair of ladies in the corner holding hands? I don't know them but I'm going to hazard a guess and say they're somewhere in that lgbt group. The guy at the bar with his hand on another guys ass?

Maybe I'm more aware of it because I used to live with a gay drag queen?

I see its a straight world. I really do. And at no point have I said fuck op. Why aren't you drowning in women they're everywhere. I know it isn't easy from the experiences of my close friends.

But to return to my point, she is too young at 22 to be depressed and give up. If she hasn't already she needs to look into her local lgbt and attend some events. She isn't alone in this feeling. And the feeling she's got isn't exclusive to lesbians, gays , transexuals, straight people. We've all been there and the only way through It is to push through. It's depressing when all your friends seem to trip into a relationship and get married with such ease. But it doesn't mean it will never happen.

I'm not pouting that my social groups were less well attended. Just pointing out that the lgbt ones are usually very well attended. This is a huge plus. It means she's likely to meet people that can become new friends. Or make other suggestions of stuff she could do. Places she could go. Which in turn leads to her maybe meeting someone.

Funny how you're so desperate to focus on my perceived ignorance you can't see anything else. My original comment came from a genuine place. I've been that miserable person and it makes me sad to see someone else in the same boat.

You sound exactly like the more militant of my gay friends. Where straight folks aren't allowed an opinion or a comment because we're straight. Ergo life is sunshine and lollipops.
