    Hey everyone I'm new here and thought I should introduce myself. My real name isn't Ry but it's the one that I prefer. I'm bi and out at school but not to my family, and I've also been questioning my gender for a while now (I was assigned female at birth). I joined in hopes of talking to other people who might feel or have felt the same way as me, and hopefully clear my head a bit. And I'm also an extreme introvert so I'm actually pretty nervous posting this, but I think it'll turn out to be a good thing :slight_smile:

    Hey, welcome Ry! I'm sure you'll find all the answers you need from many people here. I'm fairly new, but I know there are really good people who can help you deal with your confusion.
    (Also nervousness is normal, but you can be sure it'll turn out to be something good.)

    Hey! I'm in a similar situation and I just joined today as well. My name is Jordan and I'm out to almost everyone as pan but I've been questioning my gender for a while (afab) and I'm not really sure who to talk to to figure it out. There's some trans guys I'm sort of friends with at my school, one of which I have a crush on, but I'm not really sure if I want to confide in them that I might be trans (or at least trans*).

    Whatever my case is, just know I'm in the same boat and I'm here if you need to talk. I'm a newbie too so we can maybe help each other out????? I mean, I'm up for it if you are. You seem nice.

    Good luck!!:eusa_danc

    Hello Ry.
    Extreme introverts are the folks who, if they want help, likely need it the most. So I congratulate you on joining a forum like this.

    I used to be far more introverted than I am now, but I still carry apprehensions towards certain things. But, seeking help to figure out who you are, I believe, will help to whittle down the barriers you carry with you. Confidence in yourself can lead to less uncertainty, and therefore, less social anxiety.
