Helloo, lovely to be here I've lurked around this site for a while and finally decided to join because of the people. Everyone seems so nice and I'd love for some new friends to chat to! I'm a lesbian and out-ish.. My family is very lovely and accepting that I have a girlfriend and that I'm happy but I've never actually said the words 'I'm gay' to anyone, except my girlfriend. Same situation with my friends except most have them have figured it out Sometimes I wish I had the courage to just be 100% honest about myself though. I don't think I'm embarrassed, I can't really explain why I guess I just find it awkward to talk about. Don't know if anyone else feels like this too? Anyway i just wanted to say hi! Looking forward to chatting to you all :3 x
Hi! I know the feeling. Im a super private person and I think only my husband and sister- in- law have a hint that I'm bi. I haven't outright said it, but they know. It just feels like something that shouldn't be blurted out bc who gives a rats ass? I don't see straight people yelling to the roof tops that they are straight, so why should we? It should be so normal we don't even have to talk about it, ya know?
Hi thank you for the welcomes I would definitely agree its to do with the privacy thing, especially with things so personal. Its so daunting to let your friends and family know exactly what your sexuality is. But I kind of worry people might speculate about it behind my back because i've never confirmed it. I'm probably just overthinking it though :')
Hi there:smilewave I feel the same about coming out to people, I don't like the idea of anyone else thinking about my sexuality, but I'm working towards being able to tell people. Welcome to EC! (!)
