Hello everyone, I need help and am very confused.

Sadly not I am a introvert, social anxiety and the sort has prohibited my ability to get out and meet people.

Yes, we do seem quite alike. I'm sorry that you're also suffering like this :/

@Tiger: Spooky isn't it?

Yup that rings some bells.



Yup ringing even more bells



Now it's sounding like Notre dame cathedral up in here.

Did i get blackout drunk and write this post?

Welcome to GS my newest friend.

It's hard, but with the help of a counselor and medication I'm slowly finding my way outside and talking to people, it's been a long battle but I'm not going to give up, just last month I left my house for the first time since 2014 and have been slowly getting out more and more hobby's help a lot, restoring my 1988 Honda H100 has helped me get out and helped me deal with the stress from anxiety. Also Hi Tiger, nice to meet you too!

[Feathers]

I'm glad to hear that.

I am going to tell my family tomorrow, exactly how I feel about everything, I've been so worried about this but, you guy's have really given me confidence, I'm sure my family will accept me being this way but I'm not gonna lie, I do feel a bit worried, though, I'm sure my family already suspects that I am gay/ Bi, my dad has told me a few times when joking around about me being gay, that he would accept me if I was, I will report back on how this goes and again, thank you all so much, it really means a lot to me to know that there are people out there who care about me, a complete stranger.

Attitudes have changed a lot, and Liverpool is no different to Coventry or London with that. They'll accept you and as you said, may have already guessed.

Welcome to GS. *Hugs* I know what bullying is like as well as depression, and I know it can be hard at times, but your not alone. True friends and family will stand by you. Man or woman there's nothing wrong with wanting someone who cares or wanting to be protected or comforted no matter there gender. No reason to be ashamed or cry, your too kind and awesome. I hope this helps even if only a little.

Welcome to GS, Hope things have gone well speaking to your family, in alot of cases we build up an inner fear for these "coming out" type events and find they are unfounded fears. If you do perhaps find it a bit too scary and put off speaking to your family dont get downhearted about it, in the end its your life and your choices, take it at your pace. You mentioned you have a counselor.... In the event you dont speak with your family, then bring it up with your counselor, I'm sure they will be more than happy to discuss and help and might be able to even direct you to some social groups in your area i.e. LGBT Youth etc.

Thank you again everyone, I have told my mum and dad that I am Bi and they, as expected, where super okay with it, got some hugs from my mum and my future is looking pretty bright and I'm glad the truth is out there now. Thanks everyone.
