    i have been avoiding the distant family that i usually see a handful of times a year and the long term friends (that i'm not out to...which is 99%) that i used to see a few times a year when we were in the same area.

    because i think if we meet up it will escape my mouth because it's always on my mind and i don't want to say it yet. and if i don't say anything if i see them i feel like I'm lying.

    i saw a friend last week that i had been putting off seeing for months (yes i am a nightmare) and enjoyed our time together but i was so conscious that i was actively hiding part of myself.


    whats my question..i suppose i am admitting i find the closet lonely. and wondered if anyone can relate? or has advice?

    Hey. If they are your true friends, they'll accept you for who you are. It really won't matter in the friendship once you tell them (except for they'll be using the correct term for your partner: "girlfriend") Hope that this helps.
