Hey guys!! My friends are making me be a girly girl, and it’s really stressing me out. They keep sending me texts about sales in stores. So are you a girly or tomboy? And boys can post here as well.
I’m actually neither. I do paint my nails or mess with my hair every now and then, but I’m not big into fashion.
I sometimes wear dark pink and my room is purple but that is it
I’m like the “grey area” in between. Like Kindness, I’m not really into fashion or anything like that, but I’m not exactly super “tomboyish” either. I’d say I’m closer to the tomboy side, but I’m very much in between.

I had this “Not Like Other Girls™️” phase at one point. I would refuse to do anything girly because it wasn’t seen as “cool”. I used to hate pink because it was seen as “girly”, no other reason. I think it is a shame you have to fit into one box or another. I think you are valid no matter where on the masculine/feminine spectrum you are on. I think I am in between. I am neutral about things like fashion, hair and make-up, but I am also neutral on stereotypical “boyish” things. I prefer to be an individual but I respect people who label themselves as “girly” or “boyish” as long as they aren’t tearing others down who are different to them. One thing I never understood is the whole “I hate pink” thing, some people have a legitimate reason for hating it, but I feel some people just hate it because it is seen as a girls’ colour. Just be yourself. I also saw some positive cartoons online that I like.
Just for the record, in my previous post, I was not accusing anyone of being “Not Like Other Girls™️” for being a tomboy, being a tomboy is okay, I was simply reflecting on my experience.

Well… honestly I don’t really know. I guess I am tomboyish, i mean i was considered one when I was at school but I actually wanted to be like the other girls…
All the other girls got all the attention, they were either cute or pretty or had all the latest fashion trends, makeup and perfumes on. Me? No one paid any attention to me, I was the lonely puppy that everyone ignored… No one wanted to be friends with me… I couldn’t touch any of the perfume or nail varnish or any makeup that the others were using cuz of my sensitive skin!! Whilst the clothes they wore kinda disgusted me… tank tops? Jeans with holes in them??? WTF???
I found skirts, dresses and other similar clothes to be way too revealing, I wanted someone to pay attention but I was afraid of the guys at the same time… I saw how they treated the other girls and it was horrible, how they were jerks and only wanted to date the pretty/cute girls or just wanted their money (some of them belonged to rich families). Jealousy was also a major problem, the girls that weren’t as cute or pretty as the others sometimes got really mad and attack them! Or the guys would fight each other over the girls… things got bloody one time and that was enough for me…
I finally decided to just go with my gut… wear whatever I liked and be whoever I wanted to be and deal with it. Who needs guys? Not me! I am happy the way I am
So am I a tomboy? Yes probably, a little tomboyish :)
I am not either, although I did go through a serious tomboy phase when I was little. Now, I just wear whatever I find to be comfortable. I am not overly fond of the current fashions, but I do like to dress up occasionally. Most of the time, I wear a dressed-up t-shirt, a cross necklace, some sort of jacket, jeans, and knee-high brown boots. I like the boots because they remind me of Lord of the Rings…
Sometimes I wear skirts to school, or do something with my hair. Sometimes I wear sweatshirts. As long as it’s modest and comfortable… ¯_(ツ)_/¯
I’m non bionary but my friends say I’m the biggest Tomboy they ever meet
