I'm new and this is my first post. I have been questioning my sexuality for years now and recently came to terms with the fact that I am gay, although I am still struggling with accepting myself. The Internet is a big place but I managed to find EC and have found it to be a tremendous resource so far. So after a while of looking around and reading posts I decided to join. Even though I'm shy, I'm glad to finally be able to interact with people whom I can relate to.
Welcome to EC! I'm sorry you are having a tough time accepting yourself. I hope the day for acceptance will come to you soon.

Hello there and welcome! I'm glad you've found the forum helpful so far, and that you've decided to join up. Feel free to browse and contribute! Don't be shy - actually, I always hated when people told me that because you can't help being shy. Be shy, but know there's no need to be shy because we're really friendly. How's that?
