    Hi all,:smilewave

    New member here. I am excited finally take a small step towards my personality. This is something I thought I could live kept hidden for my whole life but, I don't think its worth it.:bang: I am still not sure what I want. I was hoping that being part of a community, that understands me, will help me better understand myself. Furthermore, as I become less and less shy to express myself ( just in general), I am hoping I will make many friends here that share similar interests with me. (&&&)
    Looking forward to get to know you guys!
    Regards,
    Rey

    Welcome! I haven't been on here too long either. I thought the same thing about me being able to keep that part of me inside and be "normal". I have only came out to 3 people 2 being my best friend and his brother, and the other being my aunt. So I get what you mean.

    @ PennyMonkey96
    It's great that you told some people. Specially family. I tried telling my best friend who I know will be totally supportive and keep a secret but, when I try, I can't. Heck, I can't even, type my exact words on an anonymous online post. Hopefully in some time from now, I will express my thought exactly how it is in my mind.

    Thanks! And Trust me it took me a long time to tell my best friend, I've known him for more than 6 years. Not sure how long you've known your best friend but I bet they will understand and support you. Wish you the best.
