    Hi!

    My name is Victor and I recently came out to a friend of mine. After almost a decade of depression and anxiety problems due to the fact that I tried to deny my own sexual impulses and desires, I am finally starting a process of accepting my sexuality and explore it.

    I hope I can find good advices here! :slight_smile:

    Hi everyone!

    I just came out to myself very recently, and I feel both confused and liberated at the same time! I just wanted to really make my coming out process more "concrete" hence I decided to post it here :slight_smile:

    I have always been attracted to both girls and guys ever since I was a tween and I'm shocked at myself that I'm acknowledging it now, at the age of 23. I'm still feeling surprised at my little self-discovery. Guess it's part of the process...anyway I'm so glad that such awesome forums exist for all of us to share our feelings/problems and receive the much-need support that people in our world might not be able to provide otherwise! Thank God for Empty Closets! :grin:

    Hello and welcome!

    I understand what you're saying completely. I also feel confused and liberated at the same time. And don't be shocked at coming out at the ripe old age of 23. I didn't start coming out to other people until 4 years ago when I was 50! :lol: And it's still going on. I've got a lifetime of crap to clean off my mind and spirit and here I know I can find some of the tools needed to do it. :slight_smile:

    At 23, you're just beginning your adult life. You don't have to waste time and energy on stupidities that society fills your head with. You may not yet know yourself completely (do we ever?) but you have the chance to start off with only truths, whatever those truths might be, as you live your own life and not what others say you should.

    Welcome! (*hug*)
