I'm 25, and I'm just starting the process of coming out. I also have social anxiety. I've been using religion and politics as excuses not to come out. Additionally, as I'm still in school, I've allowed finances to convince me that the best thing is to stay in the closet. But, I need to talk to people. And get to living, so here I am.
