Hey. I'm 17 years old and since last year I label myself as queer. It was really hard to figure out my sexual orientation. Especially because it does not feel comfortable to label myself. It seems that I just don't fit into a specific 'box'. I know that queer is a label itself but ikd, it's different.. it has a sence of freedom. I love to be queer because I can be anything I want to be.. I can define it for myself as often as I want to. I can love whoever I want to regardless of their gender and sexual orientation.. But sometimes I feel a bit strange. I'm scared about coming out because I don't know how I should explain my family and friends who I am and what I feel. I'm scared that nobody will ever understand me. Does anyone feel the same way?
Hey there and welcome, you're from Germany - can I ask which part of the country? If you're from Baden-Württemberg I guess it would be a bit more difficult... how does your environment react towards non-heterosexual relationships, based on your experience? Many people will not understand it, sure, but a lot of people will accept it - and that's what's important to start off with.
