    So the other day we went to a movie, then out to dinner with two other couples that we know that just happen to go to that same movie that night. We were sitting, drinking, waiting for our dinner and just chatting and I suddenly thought to myself....everyone sitting at this table knows that I am gay. It was just the most incredibly relaxing feeling I have ever had. It was such a seemingly small thing but one of the most awesome things I have ever experienced in my life. I guess I am learning to love who I am! Wow!

    That's great that you're accepting yourself! And that others are too! :slight_smile:

    Isn't it cool when you suddenly just realize... "I can be me here. I don't have to hide at all." It can take a while to get used to, but it is a really cool feeling :slight_smile:

    That´s indeed so cool!!!

    I felt this last Saturday for the 1st time!!! (!)

    I think I couldn´t hide the big smile on my face.

    And is really a 'free feeling' because you are not thinking over and over again "Do they suspect that I can be gay?"; "Will they suspect if I say this?" etc etc etc...

    And the conversation wasn´t a thing to be remember for the rest of my life, but that moment, just talking silly things and I being myself for the 1st in my life. Was a simple moment that I´ll remember forever!

    Starting to accept and love yourself is indeed a pretty nice feeling. Great that you have realized that you can be yourself around your friends. :slight_smile:
