Welcome to EC :smilewave Sorry to hear about your troubles. There are some pretty great people on this site so you're bound to find some people to chat with and answer any questions you might have
Hi and welcome to EC. This site is really great. I have been through some tough spots and the friends on here have been really wonderful. We're all here to listen. The people here are really great. If you have any questions, feel free....
Thanks guys. I'm very confident that I'll get through it but getting there is tough. I've come out to my family and a few friends so that's a start! At this point it's more about being myself which is way tougher than I had expected.
It can be tough at first. I admit, I was there... and sometimes still feel that it's tough. Talking with friends definitely helps and this site too. It was hard to be myself at first too but with time it got better. Living in Korea though, has been hard. I fly off the radar most of the time, but here it's especially far off, lol. Thankfully I have friends on here and coworkers I can talk to. (*hug*)
@shyguy79 it's great that things did get better for you but it's unfortunate that you feel like you have to fly under the radar in South Korea. I just hope that progress continues with LGBTQ rights and acceptance in Korea and the rest of the world. The amount of hate is just mind boggling. @hawk Thanks!
Hi there, and welcome to Empty Closets! Having the confidence in getting through the coming out process and being yourself is a great start! Plus, you have already done the hard part: you came out to yourself, and have let the most important people around you know about your sexual orientation. Congratulations on that! It's somewhat of a cliche but as the saying goes: things will happen in their own time. If you give yourself the time with becoming even more comfortable with yourself, and don't rush into things, you might discover that being yourself is a lot easier than it might have seemed or looks to be right now. Maybe what might help you is to think about, what does it mean to be yourself? The answer(s) might give you some insights and you might discover that you are well on your way. Welcome aboard! I hope you will find EC to be useful to you.
@mirko: Thanks so much! And yeah I'm realizing that I have to give myself time and stop being so hard on myself. I know I'll get to where I want to be eventually. @shyguy: Yeah I'm excited to be here! I think I'll get a lot of good advice and hopefully I can contribute to the community too. @justin88: Thanks! I've only been here for a day and I'm already feeling pretty comfortable. @alexandr: Thanks!
