I'm very newly in the transition of coming out. When you tell people. obviously & awkwardly they tend to have questions. Boy is it difficult to talk openly . Mean I am useing words , sentences, expressing views & concepts that quite frankly I'm not sure I believed would ever pass my lips. I seem to have developed what I can only describe as a verbal spam filter and it's set to intolerant. All those words and phrases which feel most naturally atributed to myself when rattling around my head all of a suden feel so ailen as they pass my lips. Even describing my self as gay feels odd and surreal as it comes out. I have yet to vocalise out loud that I fancy a guy and I dont just mean to that guy but to anyone in general. But not being happy merely having a "this feels ailen" alarm. it seems to have linked itself up to the blush mechanism for visual effect. I end up glowing like a window in a ho house. I'm guessing the only way to turn it down is to talk openly and desensitise it. Lets face it a blushing youngster could be seen as sweet and endearing, make you feel paternal towards them but at my age its just not or atleast it doesn't feel like it is. Perhaps it depends which side of the blush your stood on? I never for a moment contemplated what coming out could bring out!!
