I'm pretty sure there's no sexuality that justifies constant low-level harassment.

Someone who responds to "Please don't grope me" with whining and pouting isn't a friend. He's an asshole and a predator.

Kids know when they're getting yelled at and mocked, I can assure you.

Not wanting to give everyone in your life one of your kidneys is not the same thing as hoping they die of kidney failure.

You are allowed to draw lines even if your feelings are irrational. Part of the marvelous business of being an adult human is that you get to set your own boundaries for whatever reasons you like, without appending a sensible rationale to them.

You don't need to hide the fact that you're in recovery, but you don't have to share your history of addiction with acquaintances at work, either.

Enjoy your relationship with your boyfriend and don't worry about the people or situations you dream about. Once you wake up, they're over; let them go.
