    Hello... not really sure what to say, I'm not really a big talker (until you get to know me anyway) I've just accepted who I am after years of trying to deny it and now I'm just looking to find out more about who i am really and just trying to find somewhere where i can be accepted.

    Well to be honest I first realized I was attracted to the same sex when I was 13, I started to really like my best friend (at the time) but with me having some homophobic family members I was just trying to convince myself it was just a phase and repressing it, but it's been 4 years now and I still feel the same way so (it took me a while but) I realized who I am and I've just come to terms and accepted it now because it's not like I can change it.

    Hello and Welcome to EC.:smilewave I think you came to the right place and it's good that you have accepted who you are instead of continuing to deny it.
