    Hi everyone, I'm new to this forum and new.. to the gay world. I hope I'll make new friends here. I'm not out and I'm afraid to come out, it took me all my courage to select the option "Gay" when I registered to this forum... lol...

    And I'd like to add that English isn't my maternal language so i'm sure I'll make a lot of mistakes in my future posts... so, sorry in advance!:icon_wink

    Hello there, Emil! Welcome to EC!

    You're at a very early stage of self-discovery, and it's absolutely natural to be afraid of what lies ahead, but if you ask anybody who's further down the trail than you, they'll tell you (and so will I) that there's really nothing to be afraid of ^^ it's okay to be afraid, and I'm not going to lie, it's very hard to come out at first, but we always fear the worst possible response, and it never happens ^^

    And don't worry about your english ^^ you sound like a native speaker to me!
