    Hi all!

    I am not awfully social, but I can really appreciate friendship and reliability. And I always do all it takes not to let my friends down.

    I was raised in a pretty traditional society in Asia, and it took me more than one year to accept that I am actually homosexual, after I realized it few years ago. Still, I don't allow myself to look at men too much, never ever had sex with men, and try to stay that way. But damn it's hard. I am not sure what to do next. I don't exactly know what I want from this forum yet, but I decided at least I should start talking.

    I am currently in Toledo OH.

    Hope to be a good member :slight_smile:

    Hi! I can relate to the traditional Asian family upbringing, even though I was born and grew up in the US. It's good you're understanding yourself better, which is much better than staying in denial to appease your family.

    Hi guys! It really IS good to understand yourself... It helped me to better build my attitude towards others. I think I cannot post on walls yet, but I sure will try to keep in touch.
