Hey guys and gals! I would LOVE some advice. Long story short last Monday after church a good friend of mine and one of the female small group leaders approached me. I had let them know about a struggle of mine in the past pertaining to gender identity and my GL (group leader) let me know that she knew something was tormenting me and it was time to bring it into the light and that I would feel better. I know that they know I'm a lesbian, but I myself haven't accepted it yet.. Even the word sounds harsh to me.. Anyways they want to talk about it tonight and I'm FREAKING out, I haven't come out to anyone yet, and I kind of feel like I'm being forced out of a closet I'm just now acknowledging exists. Any wisdom would be appreciated.. I don't even know where to start. Thanks! (*hug*)
At the end of the day, the choice is yours. They can't force you to say anything and if you are not comfortable or ready to do so then you don't have to. If you're made to go along, just say you are not ready to tell them as you need to resolve things yourself. If they start getting pushy, just warn them it's not helping and it may make you less open to them ud they try and force it out of you. The whole time you don't need to divulge anything. Hope it works out ok for you... Happy days
