    So i came out about two years ago which went totally fine, but ever since ive never really felt a sense of belonging or identity within myself, almost to the point of denying im gay. Its very easy for me to hide my sexuality from others as im more masculine that anyone i know haha. So yeah.

    Can anyone like, relate or something? say if they suggest anything, something would be nice

    i relate perfectly. i mean most of my friends know by now, but it's so easy to just not tell new people and no one ever asks. i feel like it would be easier if i had a boyfriend so that i could reference it because i cant seem to ever think of a casual way to say "i like men" to most people.

    I can only relate to the fact that I don't think people are going to believe me... but a boyfriend would definitely help. Or start hanging around with all-girl groups, where you would end up talking about guys...that would help you be "gayer" :slight_smile:

    I have the problem of people not believing I am gay. But I have those days sometimes when I think I'm not and I get all confused but there usually only for a day. Well if you have an accepting family and friends is that not ok?
