Hello - I'm here to find people to talk to, and become friends with, who will accept me for who I really am. I'm struggling to do something about my anxiety problems, but I've recently accepted that I'm not making any progress on this alone, and that there is no one in my family who would accept me if I came out to them. :help: This is hard for me to say, but here goes... I'm panromantic, and genderqueer or maybe transsexual (MtF) - I don't think I'll be able to figure that out as long as I'm stuck this deep in the closet - and also I've never so much as kissed someone or been on a date, it's really all theoretical at this point.
Hi Beth, So glad your'e here! You'll find this to be a very supportive and welcoming community. And don't worry--you're not alone. Whatever you're going through, someone here has gone through it and can offer support and advice. Welcome to EC. --Zoe
Welcome to EC Beth! Just as Zoe said, we're a supportive and welcoming community, you'll find what you need. (I hope that doesn't sound daunting!)
Thank you all! I can't wait to talk more, and just knowing that there are such nice and friendly people I can talk to is a huge relief. I need to sleep now, but I promise I will be back soon.
Hello and welcome to the forums! I also do very little in the dating spectrum and my family doesn't accept me either.
Thank you everyone, for the wonderful welcome you've given me. For the two days since I've been here, I've stopped feeling so hopeless and depressed, and with your support I feel like I finally have the motivation to push back against my anxieties enough to leave the house and do things. It was too much to face alone, but now I'm not alone anymore. (&&&)
