    Hi Im Nathan Im 22 from Warrington a town between Manchester and Liverpool in England, I was studying art at university but dropped out last year and am now doing, well not much. I really have no gay friends or know anyone that is so thought this would be a good place to chat to people and start to sort things out.I havnt come out to anyone yet which is a bit pathetic and the idea still seems completely overwhelming. Ive been looking through the site a bit tonight and everyone here seems great and i look forward to joining the community.

    Welcome to the EC Nathan :slight_smile:
    This is a wonderful place to talk about coming out and there is no rush on that, just to let you know. :icon_bigg

    Take your time, be comfortable in your own skin first.(*hug*)

    Welcome. The one nice thing about coming out is that at least in the beginning, we get to set our own pace. There's nothing pathetic about still being in the closet or being afraid. Its natural. I hope you enjoy your time here. :slight_smile:

    Hey, welcome to the site. :slight_smile: I'm new here too. It looks like a great place to get started, coming out seems overwhelming at first and I was absolutely terrified but it is beyond belief a rewarding experience - there's a different "right" time for everyone. I'm sure you'll find yours!

    Hi Nathan and welcome to the forum :smilewave

    Hey, don't beat yourself up too much over it. You should only come out once you feel comfortable with yourself. And I know it takes time. Anyway, have a look around - I'm sure you'll like it here.
