Hello I just wanted to make a post on my situation to make it more real... well virtually real. I'm 19 almost 20, in fact in 7 days :0. I'm gay and currently in closet/outside closet limbo... Anyway I finally last summer made a half-attempt to come out. I basically just said I was bisexual to my parents once and never talked to them about it again. I mean my mom understands it somewhat and she would accept me and love me for it no matter what. My dad wound up being awkward but he drinks a lot at this point so I don't even know if he remembers it. I also wound up telling my best friend who I had painfully strong feelings for him.
Anyway, I've at this point told a few people and for the most part it's just made it awkward. The friends that I'm comfortable with it are away at school and I'm still in Community college till I get the credits to transfer. Anyway it's not really apparent to anyone really. I am in recovery from a period where I struggled with drugs and my sponsor knows and has helped me with it. But the point is I've become pretty comfortable internally with it I just find it so hard to tell anyone and at least not completely openly. I don't have any gay friends or know any gay people really at all. I'm hoping when I go away to school it will get easier but just wanted to make a post here. And sorry! i didnt think it was going to be this long =0
