    I feel like from the media we are constantly told that things get better and i keep questioning myself if that is just empty words to ease the pain that every gay,bi, lesbian goes through...

    I am currently in the closet and i feel a bit lost in it to be fair...i am definetly attracted to woman (always straight ones) and on rare ocassions i met guys that i have a crush but really never take it to the next level (with neither men or woman)

    I try to picture myself in 10 years time and it gives me anxiety as i currently fell at a dead end with my sexuality and cant even imagine how it would get any better if im extremely scared of my feelings and what they will lead to...

    Most LGBTQ+ I know of, aside from the internet, tell me that it gets better and I've seen it get better. :slight_smile:
    Don't despair and try not to over-think/ predict the future. Wish you all the best ~

    The belief that it will get better is powerful in itself. Think optimistically as much as you can, and it will make you feel less lost.

    Have a hug as well! (*hug*) Hope it is comforting. <3 It's not stupid!

    Things have gotten better for me in the last months alone, I can tell you that. My mind is much clearer, even though I still have depression.

    Look forward and love yourself and things will order themselves according to how they best fit into your life.
