    I have not logged into my account in like two years. I have always wanted too but it's just something I continued to push away for another day. I decided today was going to be the day. I am 23 years old now. I am out to all of my friends, coworkers, and my sister and mother. I get the feeling the rest of the family knows. I am sure they have an idea but it's still going to take me a lot of time to come out to them. I am still afraid to meet guys and go out on dates, most of that stems from my social anxiety. I have met a few guys but I never felt the need to get serious with them nor did we ever have sex, I wanted it to be with someone who means something to me so I turned those people down. Anyway, I honestly am not sure what I am writing this post for, I am just saying hello to everyone and that I am back!

    Hi Polter - I admire your courage and your maturity as you continue to find yourself. I wish I have that courage at your age. All the best!

    Polter91....I think you're writing the post because inside you want not just help, but acceptance. Here on EC you'll find both. We don't judge and we are ready to help in anyway we can. I know in my case, just talking to people has made my life completely different. Maybe you just need time to say what's on your heart to people who you know will listen and not judge. The people here on EC will do their best to help...believe me I know!
