    Hey All.

    Just thought I'd come and introduce myself.

    My name is Charlie :slight_smile:

    I found this place via my counsellor/lifecoach/therapist (call her what you wish) and yeah, here I am!

    I'm trying to be brave and open about stuff because for 23 years I've just kinda shrugged of all of my feelings to be the person that other people want me to be, and so yeah, I'm trying this whole being me thing - which has led me to be very confused about my orientation. And I'm not very good at talking (apparently I have big walls and like to close people off to keep me (and them) safe). Haha. So... I pretty much think that is me.

    I'm just trying to figure stuff out, and everyone on here seems really nice and I think I need people like that around at the moment.

    So, hello! :slight_smile:

    Haha.

    Do not worry about discussing private issues as no one knows who you are, and most people on this forum have had/ or are having similar experiences as you. It doesn't matter whether your questions are odd either.

    I managed to come to terms with my sexuality and tell people simply by reading other peoples stories and also talking and contributing to the site. There is a lot that can be learned.

    Isn't Charlie Chalk some animated character? If not, I'm not slagging your name off don't worry. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    Ah I see, we used to call a lad at school Charlie Chalk. Although that name seems to have died out in favour of Charlie Brown. How dare they forget about the good ol' days!
