    Hello!
    I cant believe Im writing here!
    Ive always hide myself of me. Yeah, I hide from myself. I think Im gay since...well, since I can remember myself. But I always tried to hide that from everybody. In high school I was bullied because I only have girls has friends and act in a "girly" way...my parents never found I was bullied..Im 20 now, in college...and I decied, like one week ago to come out to one friend. She reacted so well and I feel really good about someone knowing me 99%. Sometimes I dont believe that my "secret" isnt mine anymore and that is good!

    ^^ Thank you!

    Hi there, and welcome to Empty Closets! Congratulations on coming out. I'm happy for you that it went well, and that your friend supports you. Coming out in itself is a journey, and having someone by your side, makes it a lot easier and less scary.

    Joining EC, is a great step too. Feel free to post, ask questions, and engage with other members. Welcome aboard. :slight_smile:

    Welcome! I completely recognize myself. I was/am being bullied. And people keep telling me I am a girly boy. But why label me girly while I am being me and have always just been me.

    I understand you so well! I was bullied since I was 10...till I was 18...now, Im in college and things seems to be calm, but I know I act "girly" ...its me, I cant change that and I think its the way we have to think. You still bullied? :astonished: by who? :astonished:
