too scared to tell anyone
I am 21 and I have known I am gay for almost 6 years now but am too scared to tell anyone. The first 4 years of my questioning I was pretty much in denial. I have been raised in a Christian home where homosexuality is a sin. My parents have always encouraged individuality from me but I’m not sure how they will react to me telling them. I am more scared of telling my friends who might think of me differently. Homosexuality is more or less a joke to them. They kid with each other about gay sex and so forth. I know they wonder about me, i am relatively attractive but have never had a boyfriend. i will date someone for a month or so just to cover myself knowing i shouldn’t lead people on like this. It has gotten to the point that i can’t stand men anymore, even some friends. I really want to come out but i am way too scared.

listen- just tell. if people really like you for who you are, then theyll continue to be your friends. if you tell them and they bail on you, theyre not worth it. just do wht you feel is right...everything will get better(btw people im straight... dont get any ideas)

I completely understand how you feel. I just turned 22 and last year finally realized I was bisexual. My personnel advice to you would be to maybe seek therapy. It's an unbiased opinion and also and outlet for you to tell your secrets without fear of them getting around. I went to therapy and I must say it did help a lot. I would advise you to eventually tell your family and friends as well. Like one of the others said they will love and accept you if they're worth having around. Also, take a look around...there's a lot of us out there. We are normal. We are good people. Don't be ashamed of who you are. Me I'm a Psychology major hoping to be a counselor sometime soon. I've told my family. It was hard but they are happy that I'm happy. I hope everything works out for you. And best of luck.

you shouldn't worry about what people think about you. i was in the same situation as you are in. my parents are not the accepting type. they have this picture of what all the children have to live up to. i broke that mold, and they did not like that. they coming around more and more each day. its going to be hard, but it will b worth it in the long run. just be yourself. you will never be happy until the moment you satnd up and say "I'M GAY." trust me that moment will be one of the happiest moments in your life. it feels like a burden just rolls off yur shoulders.

Listen in the "great end" you have to live for yourself only moms,dads,and friend are great but this is your cross and you will feel much better when it's done and if you lose friends you will make new ones,be honest with yourself the rest will come easy.
