remembering the therapy session in which the grindr notification sound emitted from my therapist`s phone, outing him; my face of recognition, in turn, outed me
Lol, they have a custom notification? That`s brazen. It`s like shipping a dildo in a box shaped like a dildo
i have literally used grindr and dont know what the sound is
Did we just have a breakthrough?
Now you both just laugh and laugh about that day. Good times.
"...so any.....life stuff?" Nice save there, Jeff.
Grindr has a unique notification sound?
No this is good then you can relate to your therapist better
How do you see a therapist and not tell him youre gay?
Oh wow Oh my god really?? I didn`t know that existed. Thank the lord
Where`s the happy ending?
Hollywood, if you`re listening...
Sounds like the start of a romantic comedy
Personally, I prefer Scruff and I have had it go off when it shouldnt have .
What if it turned out he matched with you?
Im glad to never know what Grindr is.
you in therapy
In the old days where so many of us were very closeted, a moment like that was like a ray of sunshine & hope.
There has always been signs for gays to identify each other. Grindr notification sounds are part of a time honoured tradition.
my therapist and i talked about being gay pretty early since i wouldn`t want to go to one who wasn`t and would out myself early since that`s a pretty important info for the therapist too
Twitter algorithm did the thing What, in your very first session?
Why does Grindr sound like these i made a new friend who had a ring with the female symbol. spent days trying to figure out if it meant gay or feminist. months later when i asked she said "both"
You really closeted towards your therapist, huh? Doesn`t sound very productive.
Couldn`t make it up You weren`t out to your therapist? That bodes ill for your therapy.
*awkward silence* "So..... What now?"
Shoutout to when one of my high school classmates/member of the drama company found our drama director on grindr and immediately blocked him (teacher didnt do anything, it was just very obviously the best response for an 18 year old finding their teacher on a dating app)
This is why SF Bay people don`t generally worry about who sees them at dungeon parties. If someone sees you there, then they by definition are a) not the kind of person to judge you, and b) if they`re that hypocritical, they`re equally exposed.
my dad`s phone once did it and i balanced myself and grabbed the phone and it was a normal text ??? like WhatsApp don`t sound like that...
I wish that was me but my therapist its sooooooooo straight im afraid of even saying something non-straight
Your therapist don`t know u gay? how???
Both yall *downloads Grindr to find out what it sounds like*
I would ask for my money back
I gather your conversations before that time were in no way constructive
Hows *that* for a breakthrough!
Maybe I just don`t understand how someone not being straight is bizarre, but
[Silence] can anyone tell me what it sounds like
Life imitates art
The energy Did you celebrate ? OH MY GODD Rookie mistake. Never turn on notifications.
Cool and fun tip: on Android phones you can change the notification sound for pretty much any app. It`s buried pretty deep under "Apps and Notifications" but it`s in there
That video will never not be funny to me.
This reminds me of the time my 16 year old nonbinary client at my 1st job admitted that they spent the first 4 sessions trying to find out if it was "part of the squad or not" only for me to out myself by saying "you can`t get nothing past these bi-eyes" during session lol
I am now conditioned to tag you in all therapy related tweets
my god Yall looking at each other for the rest of the session Which skit is this from?
Thats a great story!
Well I guess I dont have to ask if you have an LGBT+ friendly therapist
Id watch this rom-com.
Why does Grindr have a distinctive notif sound? Its as if they want to out their users
The domino effect in action
How dialectical
Imagine finding your therapist on grindr
Superior gif usage.
For better or worse yes (kill me )
how was the next session? please
"This match is less than 10 feet away" You and your therapist: Oh nononononono...
Althusser was right on the money!
Were gonna need a bigger therapist
I love twitter
inspires me want to write an alternate history novel where russia and the u.s. launched nukes at each other in `62. `cus both stories end the same way... radioactive
Beautiful event thank you for sharing.
Sounds like someone isnt taking therapy seriously if you arent revealing that already to your therapist
Whats the sound? Someone stating, I love the Patriots?
Yall know you can turn notification sounds off in settings
Please tell me you messaged him and was like t4t could mean trans for therapist, brain Daddy
Mutually assured destruction
thats so awesome
reminds me of when i came out as bi to my therapist and she went how do you even know? and then didnt mention it
Process that and youre in good therapy
I`ve had my phone on silent for so long I didnt even know apps had their own sounds. I had to find out from someone else that Taco Bell has a Bell `dong` as it`s sound. Shit I just outed myself as having the Taco Bell app.
It amazes me that people even know what notifications sound like for different apps bc my phones been on silent for 5 years now and do not disturb for a year
Imagine if you matched
Grindr though, land of faceless torsos. It depresses me within minutes.
What is the app like for trans ppl? Are the cis users respectful or creepy? Are there other apps that are better for trans ppl? (I already use okcupid but I wanna gain a wider experience)
