Default Hey!

Hello everyone!!
I'm not very good at these types of things but I'll give it a go. I've been questioning my sexuality for a while now. I think I've always known I was gay but I thought it was just a phase. I've accepted and I'm honestly happy that I'm gay. It makes me unique in a way, lol. I'm not out to anyone though. I'm in college majoring in psychology. I decided to join because my family is rather conservative and even though I live in NYC, I don't really know any other gay people. Also because this year has been tough and I've been hospitalized for trying to commit suicide so I just signed up to find some kind of community really. I look forward to interacting with everyone. Thanks for reading. Sorry if this was boring or over sharing.

Hello and welcome!
I'm Gah-Kai, also known as Doctor Faustus. Glad to meet you!
Sorry to hear about your suicide attempts. No one should have to feel like their sexual preferences should drive them to that.

Feel free to talk to me for any advice.

Best,

Faustus.

Oh, I didn't do anything like that! I just meant it wasn't easy being unsure of who I was in junior high. Most of the other students were immature and thought I was the only one. Joke's on them now, though. Thank you all for your support, however!
