Hey, I have made my mind up to go to a LGBT support group today but now I feel scared to death. I am nervous I will feel akward and out of place as I don't know what to expect from this...but on the other hand I know I will disappoint myself massively if I don't go I as wont be able to go to the next one until after xmas...advice please???
I know what you mean. It is scary but you can always go and just listen. Nobody knows who you are. You can always leave with them being none the wiser. I suspect it'll be much like here - people talking about their situations and you contributing if and when something strikes a chord with you. You could always have a quick word with the person running the group just to say you're not sure what you have to contribute this first time so you'd just like to see how it goes. That's totally legitimate.
hi guys! thanks for your support...just in case anyone wants to know I went! it actually went well..there were people from all backgrounds and we put topics on a hat to discuss and just talked about it..i contributed more than I thought I would so im happy about that. I will keep going start the new year and combined with therapy I hope its help me get started in this loooong journey...
