    I've been putting off doing this, as if this will really start to make all this real and then I'll actually have to do something about it! Alright.

    I think I've known most of my life that I'm bi, but for a lot of reasons, which I'm sure most people here are familiar with, I tried to ignore it or hide it. I'm not really out to anyone: various people have suspected over time, and I've had a couple very intense emotional relationships with women that neither of us would have admitted were that kind of relationship. I guess I've reached a point in my life where I want to have a real, deep, honest relationship, and I can't have that unless I'm honest with myself. I know this is going to be a slow process for me, but I have to start somehow and this seems like a safe place to begin!

    So, hi everyone! Fair warning that I work a ridiculously long way from where I live and have a hard time keeping up with online life, so if I'm slow to reply, don't worry, I will get to you!

    Hello! I'm also new to the site and trying to get real with myself about my identity; I feel like being on a site where I can talk about it and normalize it will help a lot, and I hope it helps you, too :slight_smile:

    Hey! Thank you, everyone! I'm glad to be here and actually making an effort, even in an anonymous internet, to talk about this. I think it will definitely help to make it feel normal. I hope so anyway!

    Welcome :slight_smile: I'm glad you're on here and coming out like this.

    It's great that you're starting to accept it and be honest with yourself. That's great!
