Hi My names Seven (yes like the number btw I use they/them) and I have a bit of a dilemma.

I’ve been struggling with my orientation for a long time with both gender and sexual preferences until recently when I decided not to care and let what happens happen. However, I’ve noticed that since my last crush (my only real heartbreak) I haven’t felt any romantic emotions towards anyone and instead started talking to an old friend who I’ve now become fuck buddies with. My problem is I feel like I’ll never be able to have a romantic connection with someone again since my feelings have been played with and I’ve been used and gaslighted too many times.

I feel like if people I talk to only want me for sex and to be their personal slut there’s no reason trying to be anything else or develop any romantic feelings for people anymore.

I’m wondering if anyone here has experienced the same thing because it would be nice to feel like I’m not alone.

Thanks for coming to my TED talk
