and btw nothing is wrong with you (*hug*)

 

Happy Birthday!! (!)

There's nothing wrong with you; can I ask you why aren't you able to come out at the moment?

 

Dude, im in the same boat, i'm also 22 and i've known i was gay for as long as i can remember. Over the past year i have managed to tell a few people but it kills me a little inside every time.

If you're like me, even though you feel like you've accepted it, when it comes down to it, you're still feeling like you've been dealt a shit hand, that its not fair you're gay and you'd give anything to not be gay. From how i understand it, coming out and being gay becomes alot easier when you're actually happy that you're gay and you can be proud of who you are. In that sense i think i need more time to accept and embrace the gay, maybe you do too?

Like others have said, just put the thoughts to one side for today and just enjoy your birthday. You're only 22 once after all.

 

Come on now, it's just

In time you'll really learn to embrace it and fully accept yourself. Especially after you actually do tell someone, then it kind of makes it more real. Do you have any family or friends that would be understanding and accepting?

 

Well first of all HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! (*hug*)

And if it makes you feel any better, I'm 24 and haven't told a soul. So no, there's nothing wrong with you.

 

I havent come out to anyone new in almost 2 years Im thinking I might just get on with my life and let them figure it out for themselves.

I wouldnt worry to much, it'll happen when it happens.

PS. Happy Birthday!!!

 

26 and have only told a few people. It gets better, but it is definitely a layer of transparency I wish I could let in those who are the closest. Happy birthday! Virgo's RULE!!!

 

There is nothing wrong with you. I'm sure a lot or at least more than you may think, feel very similar to you. I've known my whole life and I've only been accepting of it the past 1 1/2 years too. The only reason that I've been able to be more accepting is that I've had a few close and supporting friends. If I didn't have that support system, I may never have been able to accept it. A part of me still finds it's hard to fully accept it, and I don't embrace it (meaning it's still hard to think about being in a same sex relationship). However, I'm more open about it (not loud and proud). I will tell friends when I find myself getting close to them or when I have male suitors. My advice is to find a good support system. Perhaps a close friend, family member (you'd actually be surprised who would be accepting), or maybe you'd consider joining a local LGBT group. Then you will slowly start becoming more confortable with the fact that you are gay and can't change it.

 

You sound like me, but two years ago. So there is nothing wrong with you. I came out in a way that wasn't the best. I crashed and burned a bit (since I came out to my mom first...), well maybe that's an exaggeration in comparison to other people, but no amount of planning nor preparation on my end could prepare for whatever was coming when I came out especially to my parents. But do get comfortable first with yourself before telling someone and I suggest telling a trusted close friend – well actually maybe not close, but at minimum trusted and someone who isn't a blabber mouth.
