My apologies in advance for sounding needy, but I lack anybody who I can relate to in person, so perhaps I can find someone or some people here. I am 17, from New York, planning to fully come out soon as only some people know, & just not having someone to relate to by my side is saddening to me. I plan to fully come out after school is over, as I am trapped in a Catholic, all boy school, if anyone has any advice or willing to talk, feel free to respond. Thanks
Hey mate. I definitely recommend waiting until school is over so good choice there. I think there's a lot of people here that you'll be able to relate to so i'm glad you found the site. It sucks trying to deal with things by yourself.
that's awesome that your dad supports you well, you got plenty of people that are willing to help you here as well, some of us that are city guys/gals as well we all gone down that same road before, and it is pretty difficult. you're pretty set on about coming out after school, which is what I did, and i couldn't have been more happier with my decision.
Sure, the thing I need the most these days, is people I can freely talk to about anything. I'm waiting for school to end as well, that is my cage. So I perfectly get what you're dealing with. Feel free to PM me or anything
Thanks for the confidence boost. Of course it's a nerve racking situation, just can't wait to get it over with.
Awesome to hear that your dad supports you. Coming out can be a long process. I think it's always a good idea to come out to some close friends that you trust before you fully come out, and it definitely gets easier every time you tell someone. Trust your gut, and come out when you're ready and comfortable. If that means waiting until after school, that's great. I told a few people I trusted while I was at school, but it wasn't until after I left (last May) that I've been coming out to more and more people. Do what feels right. Good luck! (*hug*)
Thanks! A lot of people know it's just I'm not fully "out" either. Thanks for the confidence boost! (Hugs) ---------- Post added 25th Apr 2014 at 01:52 PM ---------- Oh for sure. He told me from when I was younger he could care less about that stuff. Unfortunately the rest of my family isn't like that, but I'm glad he is here to help.
I was under the impression that coming out to a father was the hardest thing as they were more likely to be - I don't know - disappointed in a way, but after watching a couple of clips on YouTube regarding guys coming out to their Dads, I think i was wrong and I now think differently. Well done for you though and good on your Dad.
Yes. I did it over a text message. I know it sounds cowardly but I was just happy to get it done. We then went for a drive & we talked about it. Good to know he is there.
