    I'm finally making an entry on here. Hi! :slight_smile: 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! :slight_smile: 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. ^^

    Thank you for the warm welcome everyone! :slight_smile: 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!)
