    Hi.

    I thought it'd be best to ... introduce myself, as I finally plucked up the courage to make an account on this site xD

    Not gonna lie, I'm pretty nervous, even just introducing myself, no idea why...

    Anyway, I'm Bradley, from England; I have known about this site for a while - just,as I've said, have never had the confidence to create an account. I've been confused for.... a few years, during that time I knew I was attracted to guys but still convinced myself that I was asexual - though recently I've just come to face the fact that I am gay.

    I'm hoping to just.... meet new people who have some useful experience to share and...
    yeah... dunno what else to say... :icon_redf

    Sorry for this strange post :confused:

    Hey! Welcome :slight_smile: I joined for a really similar reason - questioning and confused. But it's wonderful here.

    (PS: I love your Portal avatar.)

    That's kind of what this community exists for. To help queers on their journey to accepting themselves and to the understanding that their struggles are not unique but shared by many other people in the world.

    I wish you well.

    Hi Bradders,
    So good to read your intro :icon_bigg
    I can so relate to your nervousness in making your first post.
    I only joined a few days myself, after years putting it off ( about 30 years if I'm honest - if only this site had been around 30 years ago :icon_sad: ) it took all my courage to write my intro and even more courage to press the "Submit Post" button.
    The only thing I regret now is that I hadn't done it long ago. It is such a relief now that I've made the first step towards coming out publicly. :rolle:
    Enjoy EC

    Hello to you too! I feel like that a lot. Sorry this greeting is kind of late, but I just sort of, do that.

    Good job with accepting the fact you are gay! It was hard for me, but I got over it in two years, then kept calling myself, "Bisexual" because I didn't quite 100% accept the fact I would be completely different from other people. I'm good with it now, though, like almost 4 years later...

    Anyway, yeah. I joined the site for about the same reasons as you did. It's a great site and some of the threads are really funny and fun to post and use your imagination. Your account needs to be around for at least 2 weeks, and you need to post at least 50 posts in order to become a full member, so I'll suggest a really fun thread I think you might enjoy. (I do, anyway). It's called, "Ban the person above you" or something like that. Just go to the forum page, click fun and entertainment (or something like that) and you should see the thread near the top because I like posting there, and it's actually a really common thread, so keep posting things there that will make me and many people laugh like this :icon_bigg not like this :grin: and make people do this :roflmao: It's actually really easy to make people laugh with that thread.

    Hopefully we will get a chance to ban you! lol!

    Anyway, enjoy!

    P.S. Don't make people do this: :sleep:
