Heterophobic

"G, come on, introduce us to your chicks." A gym mate told me while I was exercising my triceps.

"Yeah, G, don't be too selfish." Another one added.

I just gave them a weak smile and patted my face with a towel.

Quiet and most of the time timid, that's how I am inside gym perimeters. I do talk to them but oftentimes, I really don't.

Frankly, I get petrified everytime they ask me to join them in one of their drinking sessions. Well, because people tend to ask a lot when they're having fun - ask anything when they're having fun.

I do what I do in the gym, I lift weights and enjoy the feeling of sweat and endorphins but I don't open up to them a lot. All I know is that I'm there to get fit. Camaraderie comes second. And that seems to work fine.


But this homosexuality issue still bothers me and I'm wondering also why I still have this present up till now.

It's difficult.

Perhaps it's the thought of getting lambasted. People thinking I eat d*ck for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and all those horrible jokes that are just demeaning.

Silence, as it has always been, will continue for now.
