    I realise I have feelings for girls but I do not want to come out the closet... even though I think I probably should

    I am currently studying abroad for a year in another country too so I feel kinda lost

    Are there any lgbt clubs on your campus ? You could start there...

    otherwise you could join events where females get together... spots club, literature club...

    Come out when you're ready. It took me over a decade to come out after I knew I was gay, and what helped me was just getting enough space from my old friends and family to "reset" what I thought was possible. I spent roughly a year on this site before I was ready to start coming out in real life.

    :slight_smile: You could try that .
    Barcelona might also be a fun place :slight_smile: .

    And, well, if you are kind of shy you could try some courses... so you could get to know people slowly...

    Hey try not to panick. Sometimes these things can look scary but you don't have to do anything you don't want to. So if I am reading this correct you are originally from the UK but are currently studying in Spain?

    LGBT groups are a good idea, not that I'm saying going to a bar won't be it can just be intimidating when you are on your own and not out.

    Heya, yep I am studying abroad in Spain until July. I'm kinda shy so the prospect of LGBT groups is a bit daunting ... But I need to step out of my comfort zone at some point i guess

    I'd say the people in spain are nice in general... and they should be quite open... so you might just try initiating conversations... if you keep asking a few interested questions everything should be ok :slight_smile:
