I'm sorting out a whole bunch of junk right now, so let's add this to the pile too. I can't even give you my first name here, since it isn't necessarily common and can easily trace to my real identity. I can tell you that I am 18 and have been battling with all kinds of society-related issues relating to a mental condition I, again, cannot disclose to save my identity. Sexual orientation, while I knew would become a fairly sizable issue later on, went to the back burner so I could have the mental capacity to even attempt to make friends. About that orientation... that is why I am here. I am unsure of what I am, but my emotions know no gender-based bounds. I am strongly attracted to both sexes with somewhat equal strength, although tilting somewhat toward the same sex. Nobody knows my feelings, and thankfully (or not?) I don't feel for anyone. It is a bit strange even typing this, since it was only a few days ago that I even gave it serious thought, even though the attraction has been there, in some potency, for nearly eight years. It is hard to think about this when you're popping pills for a smorgasbord of psychological acronyms (well, I was popping pills, anyway...) Anyway, it is nice to come across a community such as this - I am a bit wierded out, but I'm also a bit... weird. And don't worry - I'll start making more sense soon. :bang: >>> :icon_bigg
Welcome to EC, sir. We've mostly all been in the same general state of confusion at first, so don't worry. I hope you can use the resources here and the help of the community to better figure things out. It is quite an adventure, but a very rewarding one in the end :] I hope you enjoy your time here!
Welcome to EC. Dont worry about not disclosing information, you dont have to tell us anything about yourself and we would still welcome you with open arms.
Welcome , i know what a worry and surprise it can be to finally realise your sexuality or just start discovering and figuring it all out. Best of luck and hope to see you about. :welcome:
Welcome to EC...I know it can be rough and confusing (sexual orientation and life in general) but you came to the right place. this is a perfect place to receive help, guidance, and just a good group of people to be a soundboard for what is going on in your life.
:smilewave Hello! We at Empty Closets are glad to have you here. I'm sure that everyone else on this site (myself included) has felt the same way you do. I hope you will enjoy your stay. This place is a real lifesaver. (&&&)
Hi, Welcome! :smilewave EC is a great place to figure out many of those confusing feelings, not only about sexual orientation but about other things that may be bothering you too. There are certainly many people that have their arms open to help you in any way that they can (&&&) (*hug*)
Hi there and welcome to EC. We've each taken our own path in finding this place and getting to where we are in life - so you're no different from any of us in having your own challenges or struggles. Hopefully this site can help though. It did for me.
