    I am shut tight in the closet and new to this so first of all, a big hello to everyone!
    Guess some of us out here are having really tough time knowing and accepting who we really are. I have always thrown the thought of attraction to girls to the back of my mind and avoid it from getting to my head. But I guess now, I'm ready to face it and accept myself, before opening up a lot more, that would be a HUGE step for me. Any advice will be greatly appreciated! Have you secretly hoped that you weren't gay? I have, but not anymore. That journey of accepting and knowing yourself, is not easy. But its worth it, because it nurtures.

    Cheers!

    Welcome. All your concerns have been shared by many members on here, so don't be afraid! I believe accepting your sexuality is one of the best things you can do not just so you can come out but also for your general health and self-worth.

    I have wished away my gayness before, but I've always been happy with it.
