The outcome is only uncertain for those who disbelieve.

I used to cringe so hard at my “I’m not like other girls” phase until I realized that most girls have this phase and what we actually mean is, “I’m not a thoughtless one-dimensional caricature of makeup and boobs, which is all I’ve been taught to believe girls are.” How can women be viewed so poorly that little girls everywhere all think they’re unique just for having independent thoughts and interests?

oh shit

how is it put so perfectly just into words like that, like, just

how

story of my life

This is from like 2012 and I literally meant I’m incapable of being forward about my interest in other people and can’t express that I’m attracted to them so I avoid it by asking strange questions. Why is everyone freaking out about this????????????¿ pls explain?

If no-one has said it’s because of the “not like other girls” and distancing yourself from your own gender, generalising and stereotyping, even if on the surface you think you’re being self-deprecating. It’d have been better as “most people flirting” or something.
