Hi there! Welcome to Empty Closets. You have come to the right place to talk about your sexuality and the feelings that you have. Figuring things out will take a while, and you might have to create your own path to do so. But you will start figuring things out, and once you start doing so, things will start to make sense. One of the things to keep in mind is to take it step by step, and day by day.

If you feel comfortable, maybe expand a bit on what you are feeling, and what your worries are. In some ways, you have already taken the hardest step - you have created a thread and began to 'talk'.

You can only talk to EC staff privately until you are a Full Member. This is to protect young people like you and others on this site from internet predators who might pretend to be someone your age when they are really much older people who mean you harm. EC is one of the friendliest communities I've ever been in on the Internet, and I think it's at least partly because their strict security policies keep out most of the trolls.

There are a lot of young people here--and all the members, of all ages, are really friendly and non-judgmental. Why don't you just post what you've been going through? I think most of the younger members feel that they get a lot of support from older members--we were all your age once, you know.

Wow, the above two posts hit the mark right on the spot. EC is a true support community dedicated to the safety of its members. I know I feel completely comfortable here with me being almost your age... lol, you make me feel old... anyways

We are all here to help. You can post public threads in the support section and you can even post anonymously in the anonymous section! EC has given members every chance to be safe and be comfortable letting out their feelings. For ANYTHING you need to talk about, you will get support from all sorts of people differing in age, location, and sexuality in a safe place. Its a truly unique community.
