    After realizing that I'm gay, I've kinda been shutting myself away from my people. Whenever I see like good-looking and kinda hot guys, I try to stop myself. I'm scared that I'll do something wrong. I do talk a little here and there but I don't really feel the friendship there. Maybe it's just me... Well that was before I moved overseas sometime this year. I moved sometime this year. Being in a completely new environment, I'm feeling weird. I talk more to girls cause I hang an stay away from guys. Kinda like that. I feel awakened around guys, so much so that I don't want to associate. I do have friends it's just that it's kinda weird. It's also quite a different environment for me moving to a foreign country such as Australia. I came from south-east Asia. I do chat with Asian cause I feel more comfortable but not so with the rest. They seem like rather nice people through small talk but I can seem to shake off the awkwardness. Please help:frowning2:

    Oh I see. I can't give any geographic based advice because I'm not really familiar with foreign cultures myself so I don't know what is and isn't appropriate.

    I can, however, tell you this. Don't shut people out. It's just not a good thing to do, and it'll leave you with a lot more problems to deal with in the long road. You should just try and find some comfort in yourself, and maybe get out there and try talking to a few guys. It might be difficult, but it'll pay off if you're willing to have confidence in yourself :slight_smile:

    Indeed dont shut yourself away from others! Im sure you will be fine :grin:. and most of my group in high school was female (there was only 3 males and 7 females in my group) so it isn't anything unnatural you needn't worry! :slight_smile: hope this help. best of luck for the new year. im sure eventually you too will have a good group of friends!
