    Hello EC,

    My name is Matt and I knew I was gay from when I was quite little, about nine or ten years old; but sadly I am now an adult and I am still fully in the closet. I had plans to come out when I was out of high school but I am having second thoughts and want to do it sooner. Please anyone help! I know I am being quite upfront about this, but i feel as if I have no where to go.

    Hey there Matt. Trust me I know what you are going through. You need to come out when you are ready. Do not rush it. You already know who you are. I am 28 years old and I am not totally out to everyone either. It has to be your timing. Not anyone else's.

    Thank you for the reply, I just feel like I need to tell someone close to me in order for me to feel at peace with myself. I feel like I am ready, I really do, I'm just terrified.
    Thank you :slight_smile:

    Then if you want to tell someone who is close to you then by all means do it. I know you are terrified, but just trust your own instincts. That's all you have to go on. Follow your own heart man.

    Well, this doesn't have to be the last time we talk. If you ever need to talk, I am here. I know what you are going through, and you are not alone.
