    Did any of you have trouble accepting your sexuality at first?
    I know I did, mainly because I went to a very religion-orientated school, but I told a friend (who was great about it), and it became so much easier and better. ^^

    Thank you if you took the time to read and replied. ^^

    P.S. I am completely accepting of it now ^^. I did go through a phase though a while back

    I think everyone has had trouble accepting themselves!

    Not really. I've always felt this way and I just thought it was interesting. Never bothered to ask why really.

    I never had trouble accepting myself, I completely skipped the whole denial phase. But I think i'm just a lucky one for that.

    Took me multiple years to come to terms with it. Once you do though, you'll wonder why you ever were not on terms with who you are. It truly gets easier. Have hope, you will be just fine :slight_smile:

    It's great that you found someone to help you along. Friends can really come in handy if you got the right ones.
    I just accepted it one day, I kind of always knew. There really was no inner turmoil or anything. And yet I'm still not out. Wtf.

    Hmm, not so much. I'm a very open person, but I guess it just takes time.

    I repressed feelings towards men for a while. I just came to terms with my bisexuality recently. I was raised religious and have a super conservative family.

    Yeah, I had a ton of trouble accepting myself at first. I was the youth leader at my former church when I realized that I was not straight.. So, it took me a long time to come to terms with my sexuality.
