I'm going on my first ever trip with a bunch of gay men and tbh I'm dreading it. I don't want to go to an underwear party, why don't we go on a hike or on the architecture tour instead or just chill and read a book? Is it gonna be OK? Any advice how to survive this with a good attitude?

My goodness.

Generally, group trips aren’t all or nothing. Do the hike or whatever you want and skip the underwear party. Nobody’s dragging you anywhere.

It will be ok.

1. An important travel rule for me is that everyone doesn't need to do everything together all the time. Feel free to read a book while everyone else is at the underwear party. Take half of the group hiking while the other half has bottomless mimosa brunch.

2. You surely had some input into the trip itinerary. If you wanted but didn't plan a hike or architecture tour, that's on you. Hopefully there's still time to work on the itinerary. If you have no input, or the trip doesn't meet your needs then just don't go.

Lol, I’m the same way!!! Cannot stand it, cannot understand it. I sense it’s a way to define meaning and imitate belonging / self-acceptance, but the method is elusive at best….

Keep your pants 👖 on!!

Almost midnight here and I'm cleaning my medicine cabinet so I can reboot having a regular skin-care routine.

Living 9 time zones away from home out of the US and watching the BLM movement there, unable to do anything concrete about it from here - this song I've listened to countless times, today about brought me to tears.

I really don’t mean this to virtue signal - just wanted to share a moment.
