    Hey there,
    I just posted a huge message in the lgbt later in life section. I honestly have no real idea why I am here or what I hope to accomplish by it, but I have been looking for people who might 'get' me for a long time, and maybe it is here. I have been reading through some great message strings and this seems like a supportive and encouraging online community. I am looking forward to being a part of it, although I don't know why or how I can contribute through my fog of confusion. Anyway, thanks for having me :slight_smile:

    I understand the concept of looking for someone who "gets" you. That's what I came looking for, too. Just a bit of understanding.

    Welcome and feel free to ask whatever. I stumbled across EC and had some skepticism. The time here has given me some insight and time to share and realize that I'm not the only one feeling the way I feel. Interact and enjoy!

    Welcome to EC! I just wanted to tell you that there isn't really any criteria for identifying what you are, so if you can't relate to certain stories, don't worry, everyone is different. I wish you good luck! :grin:

    Welcome. I hope you do find what you are looking for here. If you need any help or support, post on the forums or contact a member of staff. The Later in Life area is a very busy and active part of EC, so you are sure to get some positive comments there.
