Hello everyone, This is my very first outreach to the LGBT community and as to be expected I'm a little shy and embarrassed. In the past half a year I've discovered my true sexuality and my immediate response was typical I imagine; fear, embarrassment, and denial. Realizing this was not a choice made it all the more difficult to personally accept, which I still have not done to this day. I've always supported this community but my first reaction was "it's different when it's me". I am, however, trying to find ways to become ok with this and maybe confident someday. Through some online research it has come to my attention that handling this alone is unnecessarily stressful and the best thing to do is to reach out to others like me. We have an understanding which I've been struggling to share anywhere else. If any of you could please help in terms of advice, personal stories, or support on how to get through this period of tough self-acceptance (or lack of in my case), that would be so greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time! :help:
