How can I become comfortable being gay?

[Hellie]

Firstly congrats for coming out to people!
It sounds to me like maybe a counseller would be the best option? If you're really uncomfortable with it and it's really affecting you definitely go and see a counseller who can help you understand and come to terms with your sexuality. There's no shame in seeing a counseller

Oh, yeah, I'm with you on that one. I don't think there's any shame in seeking counseling. In fact, I'm on a waiting list for just that. However, I sought counseling for my social anxiety issues, and now I'm realizing that I should definitely bring up the subject of my sexuality as well and work through that.

Also why not try going to one of them groups...Ive heard some people mention it but can't think what it is? Basically one of them groups for Lesbian/Gay people where you all meet each other, get to know each other and talk about stuff etc?

I would love that, but unfortunately we don't have these types of clubs in my hometown. At least not that I know of. Like I had stated earlier, I'm from a rather small city in Texas. Do you know of a place online maybe where I can meet more people?

Hope you sort something out soon, and get over your personal shame. You deserve to be happy and proud!

Thank you.
