Hi everyone! My name is Dylan, I'm 17 and from PA, and I'm new here. I'm gay but only out to a few friends. I've had a lot of trouble dealing with social and religious pressures about my sexuality, so I'm not all that comfortable with who I am right now. It was only last night that I discovered one of my friends is probably gay; she tipped my off to this site. I always wanted friends in real life who knew first-hand what I am going through, but I think being on EC might really help me feel less alone...somewhat at least. I might blog or post my experiences with my sexuality and stuff later, but I've already rambled beyond what is probably a good length for an introductory post. Looking forward to getting to know y'all! :smilewave destinationzero
Hello and welcome to EC! We might not be real in the way of being physically near, but we're always here to listen and provide support! And your post isn't too long for an intro post, really. Then again, I would say that, since I have a way of posting with an essay where a single word would suffice
Welcome to EC, Dylan, hopefully you'll feel at home here and we'll be able to help you out with any problems you have, big or small
Hi Dylan and welcome to EC from Jim in Toronto! I know when I first arrived here I immediately felt at home and much less alone in this world. I hope you feel the same way.
thanks everyone for the kind words. ive been so busy i havent been able to log on much, but its good to know im welcome here. hopefully once my schedule is a little less murderous i can be more active than my current.....3 posts? lol
