I (30M) found my bandmate's (38M) notebook full of things written about me. What the hell do I do now?
Help me. I was going through my bandmate's notebook that he left at the studio for me because he wanted me to track a riff he had written down. He told me specifically not to poke through anything else, but I forgot the page number and started flipping through the pages to find it. While looking, I saw a paper that had been covered in sticky notes... which I peeled off. The page was titled with my name and basically had a bunch of facts about me... like the make and model of my car, address, my fucking birth marks, and triggers and shit. I was flattered but a bit creeped out, obviously. At the end of the page there was a poem written about me that i cannot include because it will leak my identity. What does this mean??? I'm not gay or anything, and neither is he. SOS!!!!!!!!
I should specify that we have looked and acted "gay" with each other on stage during performances and shit, but never anything too drastic. I feel like I'm just stressing out over this, like, maybe he just wants to be considerate??? Help a guy out please.

Has he shown any interest in you before? Like, looking at you during practices and etc? Maybe he has a crush. Or maybe he's a good friend.
u/slayerfan1996 OP • 5 days ago
He would do that stuff back then etc, but I thought we got over it because we have dated people (girls) and stuff. I'm just concerned this will change our band dynamics and stuff.

Take your gay band and gay shit out of here.
u/slayerfan1996 OP • 5 days ago
Daron would not support of you saying that.
u/selfrighteousuicide • 5 days ago
Daron's not a fucking queer nor has he said anything about that.

a whole page with that much sensitive information??? either he's smitten or a stalker... either way keep your eyes open.
u/slayerfan1996 OP • 3 days ago
I'm scared now :(

I think this means your bandmate is a homosexual.

My friend found my notebook full of things written about him.
I lent my friend my notebook for something that I cannot say (it will leak my identity), trusting that he wouldn't go through the rest of it. I gave him the page number, even opened the book up for him. When I got my notebook back, I panicked upon seeing the Post-It's that I had put over aforementioned page to cover it were coming off very easily before both of our eyes... There was a bunch of gay shit in there, yes, I'm gay and I have the biggest interest ever in him. But honestly, I'm more afraid of what he'll think. He's very... skittish. What should I do now to fix our friendship? He hasn't been acting homophobic and hasn't told anyone, maybe I have a shot?

Maybe he likes you back but is too shy? You did say he was skittish. Take the shot, man!
u/HeavenOnEarth OP • 3 days ago
I fear he has a lot of toxic masculinity standards he has set for himself.
u/strawberryjammin • 3 days ago
You miss all the shots you don't take!
u/HeavenOnEarth OP • 3 days ago
I'm going to ask him out for coffee after our next meetup today. Wish me luck.
u/conversionsoftware7_0 • 3 days ago
Why'd you even lend your notebook with such sensitive information over anyways?
u/HeavenOnEarth OP • 3 days ago
Nice username ;) and also I trusted him with it. He's been through it before and has never found out about this. Maybe he just wanted to snoop around??
u/hrtm0nster • 3 days ago
sounds like a similar situation another user on confession subreddit was going through lol. anyways, i think hes into you, ask him out!

I (30M) found my bandmate's (38M) notebook full of things written about me. (UPDATE!!!!!)
I am a fucking idiot. After that happened I found the riff and tracked it, but then when I gave his journal back all the cheap ass post it notes fell off because I restuck them back on. He immediately was suspicious of me and I suck at lying, so he caught me. We both were extremely embarassed and kept messing up during practice. After the next practice, he asked for me to go get coffee with him because he knows my schedule, and we went and started talking. He didn't explicitly say anything about liking me, but like, it lingered. We both kinda knew. I was bouncing my foot and I couldn't stop moving the whole time. I dont even know what to feel, maybe this is why my previous girlfriends broke up with me.... Am I gay????? Help??
u/unluckysplit103 • 2 days ago
Hi again Slayerfan!!! Ask him out, I think you guys are mutually interested in each other... If you have to consider if you are gay, I think you are.
u/slayerfan1996 OP • 2 days ago
Disappointing my younger insecure self once again I guess I am gay. Fuck my life.

I (30M) found my bandmate's (38M) notebook full of things written about me. (FINAL UPDATE) (I'M GAY AND YOU CAN SUCK MY DICK)
Hi. I guess I'm coming out now, in multiple ways. One, I'm gay, which we already know. Two, I'm Daron Malakian from System of a Down. And three, Serj Tankian (u/HeavenOnEarth) is now my boyfriend, watching me type this over my shoulder. Yes, he is doing grammar corrections. Because he hates me. So fuck all of you homophobes (especially YOU u/selfrighteousuicide do not use our lyrics as a username and be hateful. Also do not make assumptions) because WE are gay. I am sure that the press will want to press microphones up to our faces and treat us like entertainment as usual, because they do not see people other than the "NORMAL" as, well, people. I hope that can change. For now, I have my boyfriend, and he has me. Thank you for all who have been supportive. Thank you for my boyfriend for being creepy and writing pages about my information. Anyways go to your closest System of a Down show.

Wow, Daron and Serj. I decided to rethink on what I said previously, and now I know it is not appropriate and is also mean... You guys are still my favorite band. Thank you for showing me this whole new perspective... Rock On!!!!
