Hello, I'm a 27 year old guy who has not really decided, but has rather been forced by certain circumstances to come out recently. Although everyday is still very much a struggle, I can at least take some pride in the fact that I have finally started on what will most probably be a long journey. I don't know how this will all turn out in the end, but actively becoming part of this community of people who, at least to some extent, share my fate is a huge step for me personally. So I'm still far from happy, but I am happy I am finally coming to terms with who I am, however slowly. Wow, that is a lengthy introduction :lol: Looking forward to hear from you all Bye!

Hello There, Welcome to EC. I loved your introduction. Congratulations on starting this journey. You'll find that there are people here at many different places in their acceptance and coming out. I'm sure you'll find good advice and support. And I know it's cliched, but A journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step. Congratulations on taking those first few, difficult steps. --Zoe
Hi there, and welcome to our community! The first steps are the hardest, but you'll only find support here, no judgments! See you around on the boards!
Welcome. I definitely identify with your uncertainty. I used to use the word "homo" instead of "gay," to be more 'scientific' about it, for example. But, I realized I wasn't being completely truthful to myself. My point is, it's really difficult to admit that you're not being completely honest to yourself. It hurts. But, it's crucial. However, I do find it helpful to give it time. It's totally fine to be unsure of yourself, that's quite natural. I don't find it a weakness at all; it's just human nature to want to not dive into things right away. Since I've only been aware of being gay for a month, I still have plenty of issues to resolve. But, you know what? My whole life will be filled with problems. They never end. All I can really do is be happy with myself, and just take on issues as they come.
Hey, thanks for your reply. I know this will take time, but I'm a control freak, so letting go is not my forte . Good luck with your journey as well ---------- Post added 2nd Jun 2013 at 06:59 PM ---------- Hi, Wow, a welcome message in Dutch?! Makes one feel at home right away
