Hi to you all. For a couple of weeks I have debated with myself on if I should register on here. I always thought I had everything figured out, but I keep confusing myself with everything. I identify myself as gay oriented, though slightly confused as well. I am mostly out to all my close friends, but not to my family. Though I know they are most likely not even bothered with this, and is okay with it (and for sure know that I am gay). You may wonder what is holding me back. I think my own insecurities, the anxiety of crossing that final threshold feels too much for me. I have a lot of fear of what might happen, the worst case scenario if you want, I don't have the best relationship with my family for other reasons, so I don't know how this will affect everything else. It's really a case of me being my worst enemy.
Hello there! Welcome to EC~ I hope your experience here is both safe, enjoyable and that it helps you with your questions & insecurities regarding your sexuality. If you have an questions, feel free to post them up in the appropriate forums or better yet, reach out to any EC member. Anyone here would be happy to answer any q's you might have or share their own experiences. It would also be a great opportunity to start creating your own support network (it's pretty much a network of people/resources either online or in your life that you trust to get in contact with if you need help/have questions) which is a vital resource for any LGBTQIA individual. I wish you the best on your journey!, -MvH.
