Hi, I'm a 36 year old gay male who has lived my life in secret until 2 days ago. I've been in so much emotional pain that I finally decided to tell two of my friends. I thought they would judge me but they didn't. I haven't told my family I don't think I ever could.
Hi there, and welcome to Empty Closets! You have come to the right place to receive support, and think about the next steps in your coming out journey. You have taken two big steps already: you have accepted yourself, and have started coming out which is something to be proud of. It took a lot of courage to talk with your friends. I am glad that they are accepting and that you were able to speak with them.
