    Hi, my names Natasha. I'm 19 and still not out. I noticed I was attracted to women at about age 15 but i still have not had the courage to meet knew people. I live in Montreal which is a very open city, my family and friends are all open and accepting people but for some reason i can't find the strength to get out there and be me. I haven't even had the courage to call our gay help line! I think I'm just shy about it all. Anyways, I'm hoping to get some advice from others who have been through the same route. Talk to you all soon xox. :smilewave

    hey, welcome, nice to see a young woman here. I can empathies with you about being closeted but wanting to be out in the community. When i was your age, there was no chance of being out, or even joining a group such as this. (No internet in the 1970s!) . any way welcome. Paul

    Hello Natasha! Welcome to EC!

    Coming out is really tough, no matter how accepting everyone around you is, or how well you think they'll take the news. It is perfectly natural to be nervous or afraid to do it, but once you tell that first person, everything becomes so much easier, and it really is the best feeling in the whole world ^^

    hey natasha! and welcome for like the millionth time! lol
    like steamgiant said, it'll get easier after the first person, and eventually it kinda just becomes...for lack of a better term, "natural".
