    Hey.. I'm just starting to realize that i'm interested in girls. I'm having trouble accepting it, and it scares me. I've tried for so long to just push those thoughts away, but now that I'm in college it's getting harder to pretend anymore. I don't really know what to do anymore. I feel like if I come out no one will believe me because I've had several boyfriends in the past. I only wanted to fit in, so I pretended to be the same as all my friends. If anyone has any advice or even just some comforting words I would love to hear.
    (I'm 18, female, and from US.. if that matters?)

    Welcome. I'm new here too. It's hard to even acknowledge that you maybe gay. I'm there same way. Hopefully you can figure it all out.

    Ceel.

    Try not to get stressed out about your situation.
    Coming out is not easy but you'll find plenty of support here, I'm sure of it.
    Have a good look around. I'm only figuring out the site myself.

    Good luck.

    Chat to me anytime.
    Michael.

    Hey! I'm new too and am finally accepting who I am, it's only very recent though so I can understand your feelings of being scared. I was terrified but am learning it gets easier. You're not alone. :slight_smile:
