    Hi I guess. I'm new to all this but I guess I have to admit that I'm gay. Idk why but I just don't like admitting it. I have nothing against gay people but me being one is....it's hard to explain. But I found this on Google and it seemed like a good place to get advice or at least get some stuff of my chest.

    Could someone tell me which category I use to just write something about figuring out I'm gay and just dealing with it and friends and stuff?

    Welcome to EC dude. :slight_smile:
    It's a common thing to not feel comfortable admitting to yourself that you're gay. You've spent your entire life thinking that you're not gay - you can't expect yourself to flip a mental switch and accept it fully immediately.
    For me, it took a fair amount of thought, reflection, and hearing about other gay people's feelings and comparing them to my own before I finally accepted that I was gay. Luckily, EC is an amazing place to do all of those things.

    If you want to talk about sexualities/being gay, you can post in the Sexual and Romantic Orientation subforum.
    If you want to talk about telling your friends, or ask for advice on how to tell people, check out the Coming Out Advice subforum.

    If you have any questions ever, don't hesitate to ask any staff member.
