Thanks everyone for greeting me!! wow im loving this site more than i thought!! ^^<3 Love, Love the quotes ;3
Welcome To EC! And I just wanted to point out that just because you don't feel like telling the world yet doesn't mean that you have to waste time 'acting straight'. I never understood why I should act a certain way because gender or societal expectations, so I didn't. I did raise some questions. I actually found out there were a few debates between my classmates about it. I thought they were hilarious when I heard of them. I didn't know I was such a hot topic. ^_^ I never really felt the need to do an official coming out in school. Those who were dying to know were welcome to simply come up to me and ask, though most probably thought it would be too awkward. I didn't feel like I was living a lie, because I wasn't. I was just being myself.
Welcome to EC, I'm pretty new as well! This sounds like the perfect place to be for you, at least online! Coming out always seems to be the hardest around the people that we are with the most. But like Gen said, you don't necessarily have to "act straight," although I can say I'm guilty of that at times. But being yourself is much easier, and may make it easier for others to accept you since you're already showing the real you. I wish you luck with everything and hope you find what you're looking for on this site!
