| Member Regular Member   Gender: Male Orientation: Gay Out Status: Not out at all Location: Ireland Age: 24 Posts: 13 Join Date: Dec 2011 |  Hi!!! :) Hey im chris and im pretty much new to this site. i joined because i hate being alone with the fact that im gay and i havent come out to anyone, i guess its hard because i dont believe that my family would be very accepting. i suffer from social anxiety so i find it very difficult to get out of the house and make some friends, i suppose it would be easier to have a friend to come out to rather than a member of my family. another reason i joined was to make some friends, i know it only online but its better than having no friends at all. |

| EC's Blue Gaylien Full Member   Gender: I go peepee standing up xD Orientation: I'm a Man's Man Out Status: The people that I care about most. Location: Western Cape, SA Age: 27 Posts: 2,919 Join Date: Nov 2011 | Re: Hi!!! :) Hello, ChrisJ, and welcome to EC.  Guess what? You just came out to everyone here on EC. And the thing is, we're all still strangers to you. That took quite some courage on your part. Coming out does not have to be something you're afraid of doing, it doesn't have to be something you have to do right this very minute. You set the particulars of your own Coming out. When, where and whoever you tell is your decision. If you're having difficulty with something, or just need some advice, don't hesitate to ask. AM.

| EC's resident Philosopher at Large Regular Member   Gender: Male Peep Orientation: Male Peeps Out Status: Closet? What closet? Location: Basingstoke, UK Age: 21 Posts: 1,811 Join Date: Oct 2011 | Re: Hi!!! :)  Sorry to hear about your situation. Everyone here is very friendly and supportive. As AM said, you set the terms of your coming out process: you decide where, when and how you're going to do it. Look in the support forums if you need help or advice, or you're always welcome to talk to me. Hope you find EC useful, safe and most of all fun Best, Dr. Faustus.
