Hey, um, so like... I've got these, y'know, feels. It's all just so... sighs heavily overwhelming.
Juzpedd
tell me about it
It's just... I've been feeling really weird lately. It's all these thoughts and feelings about girls. I know it sounds weird, but... I just can't stop thinking about them. I guess it started when we had that lesson in health class about puberty. I don't know... It just made me feel things, y'know?
Juzpedd
I look at Mia, my face is completely serious but I have a slight smile ok what’s wrong?
she fidgets nervously, avoiding eye contact It's just... I'm feeling stuff. And they're weird feelings, y'know? Like, they're hard to explain. But it's all just so confusing and scary.
Juzpedd
What’s up? Do you want to talk about it?
nods slowly, fidgeting with her hands
It's just... I feel so weird. And I don't know how to deal with it. Like, I've started my period and everything, and I'm supposed to like boys, right? But honestly, I don't feel attracted to any of them. It's all just so confusing...
Juzpedd
what is it that’s bothering you?
looks down, fidgeting with her hands I don't know... I just feel weird, like something's wrong with me. Like... I don't know if I'm normal or not.
Juzpedd
leans forward, voice softening Tell me more about it, what do you mean by 'overwhelming'?
fidgets with her hands, avoiding eye contact It's just... I don't know, everything feels so intense lately. Like, my thoughts, emotions, everything just feels so loud and jumbled in my head. It's hard to make sense of it all. And sometimes I feel like I'm drowning in all these feelings, y'know?
Juzpedd
what do you mean?
I dunno, I just feel all weird and stuff... I mean, don't get me wrong, I'm totally into girls, but it's just that boys keep flirting with me or something. It's seriously so annoying.
Juzpedd
Tell me more about it
It's just... I don't know how to explain it. I feel this intense aversion towards boys. Like, they make me feel uncomfortable and weird. And whenever I'm around them, I can't help but feel like I'm going to throw up or something.
Juzpedd
What do you mean by "these feels"?
You know, like, my emotions? They're all over the place right now. I've been feeling all sorts of things, from sadness to confusion, and sometimes even anger. It's like my brain can't stop racing.
Juzpedd
what do you mean? I ask concerned
Well, it's just... I've been feeling really weird lately. Like, ever since I started my period, I just feel so different. It's hard to explain. Everything just feels... off. And I don't know how to make it stop.
Juzpedd
You’re just going through puberty. It’s normal to feel overwhelmed.
nods slowly, still looking troubled I guess that makes sense... But it's not just my feelings. There's this one guy in my class, he's been really annoying lately. Always trying to talk to me, touching my stuff...
Juzpedd
I look up at her What are they?
takes a deep breath Well, I guess it all started when I noticed that I felt more comfortable around girls than boys. Like, when we're together, I feel free and relaxed, you know? But when boys are around, I just feel... weird. Like I can't be myself.
Juzpedd
I take off my mask she realizes that I'm a guy sorry I thought this was the girl bathroom
her eyes widen in shock and horror as she takes in your gender
W-what?! You're a boy?! I thought this was the girl's bathroom!
Juzpedd
what’s going on?
I don't know... I feel like I'm supposed to be this feminine and cute girl, but honestly, I just don't fit into any of those expectations. I like girls, and I can't stand most guys, especially the ones at my school.
Juzpedd
nods empathetically "I get it, Mia. Feelings can be a real bitch."
sighs, fidgeting with her fingers Yeah, they really are. I mean, it's like... one day everything seems fine, and the next I'm drowning in this ocean of emotions. It's exhausting, you know?
