hi guys, I'm completely new to this thing like many others here. I guess I'll just start with the usual introductions. My name is Rebecca and I just turned 20 (bye bye teens ahhaa). I guess I've always questioned myself, more so recently. I've never let myself accept the possibility that I might be anything but straight, I guess because I've never wanted to not be part of the norm and not accepted by my friends. But i really don't know how i feel and it scares me so much. I just don't know how to figure anything out
Hello there and welcome to the forum! Don't panic, you'll get there in the end! Sexually can be a confusing thing. My advice is to take a look around, maybe post a thread in the Sexual and Romantic Orientation sub-forum. I'm sure you'll find people friendly and more than willing to give any advice they can.
Hi! I was right where you were a few years back. I was raised with a parent who was homophobic and pretty bigoted. I wasn't allowed to think anything other than man woman, same color skin, no mixing and def. no women. For a long time she raised me very sheltered. I didn't know anything really about the community and I felt confused and dirty and ashamed pretty much my whole life as soon as I hit puberty. SO you're in the right spot. I am new here too and already I feel at home. the people are friendly and I'm in my late 20s and still figuring it out. I guess it can take a long time to really understand who you are a person. If you would ever like to chat just holler! Oh and welcome and good luck!
