how do i accept myself :S

[LateBloomer]

I struggle talking to people about any of my feelings so I am unsure counselling would help - maybe if counsellors offered chat-style consultations similar to this it could prove helpful.

Do you possibly think telling my mum could help me accept it? I don't particularly think she would react badly to the news and am pretty sure she has probably questioned it herself due to me not bringing home any girlfriends. Maybe if she accepts me for it, I would be able to? I just don't know :S

To tell your mum would be an act requiring HUGE amounts of courage.

It might even seem impossible.

Impossible, until you finally get it off your chest and then when you're overwhelmed by relief you'll wonder why you thought it would be so hard.



If you think you can find the right time and place, tell your mum. But FIRST spend a little time on GaySpeak and read the stories of other people and how they came out.

Keep us posted, ok?
