Hi, I'm Atala, and I'm a woman that likes women. And I'm so not finding this easy. I'm still internally fighting it and I have no idea where to go for support. I feel a bit lost. I just graduated from university, where I dipped my toe into the LBGT society but then shied away again because of the clubbing and the alcohol. I have no LGBT groups around where I live now. I come from a very conservative background and now work in Education, so just before I graduated I had a few weeks of being happily out before I crawled right back into my closet. I feel so isolated, I hate my cowardice, I feel like I'm lying to everyone, and I worry that given that I can't even meet other gay friends, I will never meet anyone that I can have a relationship with. In my day-to-day life, I have lots of friends. I just wish I could meet someone like me, though! I really hope that this forum will help me to kill off these negative feelings about my sexuality. I want to be able to see the good in it too! Can you help me do that, nice EC people?
Hi there Atala! ^^ Welcome to the forum, new here myself! I'm Neko, nice to meet you! Just wanted to say I totally know how you feel, I'm dealing with similar issues in my little slice of the South Western US. I live in a less than progressive state and trying to find a support group around here is... not really happening so far for me :/ So I pretty much had the same idea as you! I hope you find what you're looking for here, and more so that you find happiness for yourself! Lots of love! Neko~
Hey! Welcome to EC! Sorry if I'm not much of a welcoming committee, but I'm in the process of trying to be more active on this site, and, yeah... ... ...... ......... ... Hi... *hides*
