I too am 21 years old and slowly coming to terms with my sexuality. I want to tell someone, a close friend or family member I'm gay, but right now is not the time. You will know when the right time is, and it could be unexpected.
I am currently in college and I can honestly say it has helped me learn to accept my sexuality, progressively. I joined a frat, to gain the male friends I never had, and it's caused me to realize how gay I am haha. Honestly, I am worried some of them will not be comfortable around me due to my sexuality; if they aren't oh well it's their loss. If those you decide to share your sexuality with are your true friends they won't care. Those who push away from you aren't comfortable with their sexuality or just ignorant imo.
All the advice that has been given in this thread is extremely helpful to you and myself as well. What you really need to do is stop worrying. The more you worry the longer it will take for you to come to terms of being comfortable with your sexuality. I know its hard but you have to do it for your own health.
What really helped me is continuing to come to JUB and post any frustrations and fears I may have and I was always responded with excellent advice. I don't have MSN but you are more than welcome to message me and I can provide you with my email address and we can talk more.[/QUOT
I like this post. good advice from a peer he can relate to. wish I would have been able to be honest with myself at your age. would have made life so much easier.
to the op. coming out is a process. for some it takes time and is painstakingly slow. for others the door flies open and their out there for the world to see. only you know which way is best for you. the important thing is that you don't try to change who you are because that is what society or family expects from you. that leads to a life of misery and lying. soon you have to lie to cover up another lie and in the end people see through it. save yourself the misery and come out when your ready. just dont try to change who you really are. trust me. it doesn't work.
