Hi Just to warn you, this may turn into a long rambling post so I won't be offended if you don't finish it OK... My name is Sam(antha), I am 20 and I am from Sheffield, Yorkshire. (For the Americans - near Manchester - miles away from London). I am bi. It took me quite a few years before I could admit it to myself. I remember when I was 13 and I'd have thoughts about who I am. I used to get so embarrassed and try to shut everything out. I guess I would have been 19 when I was ready to admit that I am. I lived a very open childhood, exposed to everything. It was beneficial in some ways as I was able to see the world for what it was at a young age. Things like sex, however, not so good. Since then, I have always been a bit nervous around such subjects. That is why I am in the closet. I know my parents at least would understand and accept that I am bi but I'd just feel a bit weird about it. The only person I have told is another bisexual with whom I used to work. I will eventually come out. I'm just not yet ready. I know this is just the intro but you'd be surprised how therapeutic this is - just revealing my entire feelings anonymously! So anyway, that's my intro! Looking forward to participating in the chats Sam xx
