Why is being a lesbian so emotionally painful?

Answer 1

Answer
Because they are girls. And girls in general have emotional issues.


AnswerThe above answer is ridiculous.

Being queer in this world is tough..when you have to fight the whole world just to be who you are, many times you even have to fight your own family...it is easy to see why a high percentage who fight those types of things all the time without being able to escape it or rest from it might have some more emotional baggage.


That said, most lesbians are doing just fine emotionally...which speaks to their strength as a community.

Answer 2

There are many lesbians who are emotionally healthy and emotionally hardy individuals who are able to endure and overcome emotional trauma easily. Likewise, there are highly sensitive or emotionally unstable heterosexuals who have difficulty dealing with the most minor emotional burdens.

Emotional hardiness is a trait that is absolutely independent of sexuality.

If you feel that you are unable to deal with situations as well as other people then it might be to your benefit to seek counseling. Often, emotional trauma that is not dealt with can cause people to be emotionally unhealthy for years after the incident occurs. This weakened state can result in these people dealing poorly with situations that people who are more healthy would easily resolve.
