Mini pronoun crisis by FrogLorddd

Early last year I had stumbled upon neopronouns online.
I wanted to ask my friends (at the time) abt it, but they said it was weird and confusing. Personally I'm absolutely fine with them though so it was sorta upsetting to hear.
A couple weeks ago I was chatting w 2 friends and neopronouns came up. Basically they had a long chat mocking neopronouns while i just stood there and gave little input bc I was scared of telling them that I disagreed (pathetic i know but hey...)

I think they picked up on the fact that i didn't share the same opinion as them bc they've kept their distance since. So have I after the reaction I got. It kinda hurts bc I feel like even though they accept that time trans they wouldn't accept me if I came to them saying i went by a new set of pronouns. It feels conditional and I don't like it :(
On that note, currently i go by he/him but for a while now i've been considering neopronouns like xe xem xey etc... Idk yet though

I put it off for like a year bc i didn't think anyone would accept me if i asked them to use them. idek if i even have a single irl friend that would use neopronouns for me tbh. kinda sad ngl :/

And you're not pathetic! It can be really hard to stand up to your friends, this I know from experience, so if you were finding it hard to speak out, that doesn't make you any less of a person :)
I've been quite interested in neopronouns recently too, as you can see by my new OC :D

@LordoftheWings Cheers I needed to hear that :)
I think i'm not going to talk to those people anymore if I can help it. I'm gonna keep experimenting w my pronouns without them holding back :)

Personally, I've never understood neopronouns, however, I would never diss them. If someone wants to be called they neopronouns, I will call them by neopronouns. I try my best to be accepting even if I don't completely understand smth.
