I consider myself to be gender fluid. I oftentimes like feeling like a man. The way I talk and interact with everyone is based on all my experiences with men. This is just the way I am.
So because most of my friends have been men in the past, I’m more inclined to listen to men speaking Japanese. I like the rougher ways they speak. I’ve read and listened to them so much that I often say 俺 when I’m talking to myself without a second thought.
I know there’s no law against doing this, and this is not a big deal, but people will definitely think it’s weird if I actually use it, won’t they? Women just don’t say it. I use 私 whenever I actually get the chance to talk to someone bc I don’t wanna be too weird.
I just like using 俺 when I’m alone lol. Sometimes I like the feeling of 僕 because it’s more neutral.
