    Sorry for all the multiple threads, but I am finally feeling exhausted fighting myself about being gay. I know I am, and i posted a thread about knowing I am gay but not accepting it.... but now I am finally beginning to feel the 'end of the tunnel' of coming out.

    I feel relieved, not worried that I know I am going to come out.

    I am going to make a bold prediction here.. by the end of this week, I will come out to someone i know in the real world. I feel so relieved to finally accept that.

    I'm gay. I know I am gay....but finally... I know I am going to come out.

    I know that may sound weird to those of you more comfortable with yourselves. Hey findingjoy if you know you're going to come out why don't you just come out :grin: for now I have accepted I know its coming, that's enough for now. I feel relieved.

    Want to make this more real with a timeline for coming out then :slight_smile: ?

    Best,
    SF

    PS - Remember that making progress requires that you push yourself into and through the uncomfortable zone.

    by this Friday, July 29th:
    • I will have admitted to someone in my real life ecosystem I am gay
    • I will take the next step with the guy I briefly flirted with where I work out. I am 100% certain if I let him know I want it, we're going to hook up. I am more sure about that than any woman I have ever been with. Caveat he might be on vacation or something but if I see him I will do it and post the results.
