Hello, My name's Nate Just wanted to say hello to all and to thank everyone for their comments and suggestions to myself and others. It has made me much more confident about my decisions on coming out. I have been dealing with these thoughts of my sexuality for over 8 years and just hoped more than anything that the feelings would go away. and they have not! So I have FINALLY admitted my sexuality to myself at 19 and I feel great. I have told three friends, all of whom I knew would be supportive. But the support I got was far over my expectations. Surrounding myself with good people these past few years has made this almost easy! And This site is making it easier by just confirming my beliefs that I can still be normal and that being gay doesn't change me! I hope to slowly come out to those close to me such as my best friend(whom I am very worried about) and my family these next few weeks. I cannot wait for it to all be over so people can either accept me, or eventually simply get over it. Looking forward to a happy life that I was not sure I would have until I admitted everything to myself! Thanks all for the comments! Nate :icon_bigg
Welcome to EC Nate! =) "I cannot wait for it to all be over so people can either accept me, or eventually simply get over it." I like the way you think.
Hi Nate and welcome to EC! Glad that EC is helping you. Congrats on your coming out journey thus far!
Hi Nate and welcome to EC! I'm glad the forum has helped you come to terms with your orientation. I remember having the same reaction when I first joined. That this forum was filled with really great and 'ordinary' people just like me. Other than my orientation, I'm just like everyone else. And so are you!
