    Hey everyone, I'm not the type to use forums, but I stumbled across this site and it seemed like I should give it a try. You see, I'm having trouble expressing myself. I don't want to talk about my problems, but ignoring them doesn't help either. I feel kind of stuck.

    I can admit I'm bisexual to myself, but no one else. This is becoming a problem the longer I keep it it in, and I've started to just bottle up everything. That was happening before I was worrying about what my sexuality was, but it seems to be getting worse. Sorry if it seems like I'm whining.

    So, when I started looking throughout this site I decided it would be worth giving it a try. The people here seem nice, I've been needing somewhere to talk about this kind of thing. I want to be more open and comfortable with myself in general. So, I think a nice online community would be a great place to start.

    So, hello everyone. It's great to be here and hope to enjoy my time here :slight_smile:.

    Hello! :slight_smile:
    I hope you enjoy your time here and that you're able to make new friends who'll both advise and support you so that you'll be comfortable enough telling those you feel deserve to know, about your sexuality.
    Best of luck and if you ever need a friend don't hesitate to contact me :slight_smile:

    I'm very glad you decided to sign up. Welcome to the community!
    May I call you friend instead of LOser? :slight_smile:
    We are here to help so please don't hesitate to post or reach out for Individual Support.
    It really does help to connect with those in the community who can relate and understand you.
    Although I am a new sign-up myself, I had been browsing the forms for months, and this community gave me the confidence to start to come out and be more comfortable with myself.
    Look forward to talking with you and hope to be of some help.

    IN NO WAY AT ALL DO YOU SOUND WHINY. We are a community that welcomes you and we hope we can help you on your journey of finding yourself and expressing it to the world (when ready) my advice for your problems with keeping your thought to yourself is to force yourself to start telling nonliving things for example a stuffed animal then a mirror and at some point you can work your way up to things like your dog, cat or even a goldfish till you feel comfortable with yourself! Trust me this really helps me I have (and sometimes still do) feel exactly like this! Also something that has helped me a ton is meditation to clear your mind ( look up guided ones that last from 3-45minutes) on YouTube especially before if you are having trouble sleeping over this! It always helps me clear my mind! AND MY FINAL RECOMMENDATION ISSSSS this website it has really helped me to realize I am not alown so many others have the exact feelings I do!
