Hello! I've been browsing the site and joined up hoping it would help me be a little more comfortable with myself. I'm a 25 year old college student still living at home while working and going to school. I didn't date anyone at all until I was 18 because I thought the fact that I wasn't attracted to boys more than girls meant I was asexual or something. In retrospect it seems like a silly idea, but I was raised very religiously and it never occurred to me that not having a preference for boys was ever something that would happen. I love my family, but they don't seem to agree or even really understand the idea that people not straight aren't weird or creepy. It breaks my heart when they say thing or make jokes, but I'm too timid to do more than quietly disagree. I'm hoping being here, among people who are more confident or know what they're doing or are even confused along with me will help me figure out who I am without trying to force the answer to be what I want. I'm lucky enough to have a couple of friends who understand how I'm feeling. My best friend knows and is supportive of me, has never treated me any different, so I'm very lucky there. Thanks for reading and I hope to meet a lot of you! (*hug*) -Super Girl
Hey there super girl , yer being confused is't fun but you will figure out what you want when you find it x
Greetings, SuperGirl. It's difficult in your situation, especially when family members say things which hurt you without realizing it. I'm out to everyone so people don't tend to say things in front of me. If people do sya things, I tend to challenge them - "Have you any idea how offensive that is?" Depending on the circumstances, of course! I think a lot of people say things without really giving any thought to what they say - they don't intend to offend, but no-one has ever made them stop and think.
Welcome, SuperGirl! I think joining EC is the first step towards finding more about who you are and that's a good sign, you did the right when you joined this amazing community. You'll like it here!
