See i figured i would start a thread about how amazing I find the people on ec. See the thing about gblt people is were all different and unique. I used to hate myself for being gay and now i find it as a gift to be a part of this. Sooo i just wanted to say how much I love all of you amazing people and I figured i should give you the chance to say it too. Please contribute and say anything you would like that is positive about another ec member and lets share the love.
Well, I agree completely. I don't feel like I'm better than anyone else, but at the same time I feel unique from the majority of people, and despite the difficulty this has caused throughout my life I'm kind of proud to be who I am. :icon_wink Edit: Also, things have changed for me a lot since I found EC, and I don't know where I'd be if I hadn't. So thanks to the community at large.
I only joined EC a few days ago, but it's already helped me. It's nice to feel part of a community where everyone is accepting, has gone through the same or similar difficulties, understands you and wants to help. I attend and LGBT group for under 25s weekly and that's the only way I knew people who were the same as me, but now I know there are so many other people out there who are the same, and it's a nice thought.
Haha it's funny because you just called me amazing. No one has ever done that before… :icon_sad: :tears: I HATE MY LIFE
I couldn't agree more. I too hated myself so much and now I feel the complete opposite - partly (or even mostly) due to EC. I'm not proud to be gay (it's just who I am), but I'm proud that I can make a difference and change peoples perceptions. Thanks everyone here for helping me some pretty rough times!
I didn't hate myself but before I came here I was in some kind of denial, I didn't know how to handle stuff, I couldn't relate to gay guys I know and I felt unable to come out. EC helped me get past that, helped me fully accept myself and I've come out a couple of times now. Still a long road to go but it's a start :icon_bigg So THANK YOU EC for being wonderful. And thank you people of EC for being wonderful too
Before I came here, I felt alone except a few online friends (one showed me this site) . Now there's so many people to talk to and they get what I'm going through. Thanks EC people
