    I've been lurking on here without an account for the past hour and I can't help but feel silly for not having sought community and advice from other confused people and LGBT members earlier. From what I've seen it looks like you guys have established a great, supportive community and I'd love to be a part of it.

    I was finally able to admit that I was bi to myself in September of last year, after two or so years of questioning, and since then I've been gradually coming out to the people in my inner circle. My main focus now is becoming more socially and romantically active, since I've been shy and mildly anxious throughout most of my life, and haven't had an SO to speak of yet. I'm looking forward to hearing all of your guys' insights, and maybe providing some of my own where I can.

    I totally relate to the anxiety. All anxiety aside - it's a pretty great feeling to find yourself and I'm glad you're here. Cheers to being newbies!

    I did the same thing, I was on here for a good hour and then decided to make an account because why not! I definitely wouldn't consider myself a shy person, but I've all of a sudden become super shy around the same sex that I find attractive so it's new to me as well and I'm still accepting that I guess! Glad there's a community like this and hopefully you find comfort and support in it :slight_smile:
