I'm finally making an entry on here. Hi! I'm a little lost right now, so I'm hoping this community will help while I figure things out. I'm done trying to be the person everyone else wants be to be, and ready to start being myself. Even though its scary.
Hi! Welcome to EC! You will definitely find a lot of help in this community, everyone is very nice, open and willing to assist one another. That's honestly the best thing you can do; just be yourself! Finding yourself is hard (I don't think I've even found out who I truly am), but I believe that, once you reach that goal, it's truly a rewarding experience. ^^
Hello and welcome to EC, SpaceButtercup! There are a lot of nice and supportive people here. And hi, Saya! Make a new thread in this Welcome Longue so we can all properly greet you!
Thank you for the warm welcome everyone! And yeah I really feel better already with the little changes and discoveries I've made recently. I've always known I was different, but I didn't know what that meant. I called myself a tomboy. I'm also really sensitive. So after being teased and harassed by kids and parents I started hiding myself from others until there was nothing really left... but at least I fit in finally. I grew up in a town where there were lots of hate-crimes on gay kids and even more so for kids that were bi or trans/non-binary. So now that I'm 30, my anxiety got so bad that I have to face who I really am. Its tough because I let my health be affected, by ignoring and coping so long. So, I'm figuring out that I'm pretty sure I'm gender fluid, rather than just a tomboy, and I like girls and feminine guys, which is not who I used to date. But it is all new to me, so I've just been watching tons of LGBT movies and recently came out to my bf, who I found is also bi. So I guess that is me in a nutshell. Self discovery is so interesting! (But scary!)
