I have been trying to come out, and I've told a few friends. Results of have been mixed and I feel like I've been burdening my friends who have been supportive with my problems. I figured here at least, people can choose to help out if I have issues and maybe heck understand, plus, I don't know, I think it might be cool to talk to some people who are more like myself I guess? In any case, I don't know what else to say. So hi and stuff.
Hello and welcome! Don't feel like you're burdening people - "Say what you mean and mean what you say, for those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind." i hope you find lots of help and support!
Welcome! By the way, it's easy to think you're burdening your friends with it. When I wanted to talk to my friends about me, I told them that I was about to say a secret, and as such, it will become a burden (one as big that I needed help to carry it). I asked them to consider this before telling my secret. They agreeded, and thanked me for my concern. What I'm trying to say is: it IS a burden, because any secret is a burden; but I noticed that the friends that help me carry that burden, do it so happy, because they're willfully supporting me., and thus, they're happy they can help me with that.
hi and welcome, and yeah I'm afraid of putting a burden on people also, but ill be so much more comfortable with them, hopefully, and more myself ^.^
Thanks. I'm actually super jealous of this gay guy I work with, he's younger then me but out on his own with a very nice boyfriend. It's just like you know...he lives like it doesn't matter and for him, it may not, but I don't know. I really wish I had that.
