Sexuality fears.

[KeyVeer]

ever since I entered high school I knew i wasn't interested in woman. I was gay and I feared what people thought of homosexuals.

It took me a year, but I was able to tell my parents about my sexuality. they were shocked but seemed that I was still me.

but... school is different. my close friends know of my sexuality but I fear that if I was open about it that I would be teased, bullied, etc. I told my friend that i am seeking a relationship and I found someone I cared about. he was nice but he wanted the public affection. I couldn't do that and he up and left me.

so now I need to overcome my fears of others but I feel that I will not be able to do it on my own. I feel that I will spiral and crash right after I take off. my best friend is always there for me and I wish that was enough but it isn't.

I have very low self-esteem and what many say do affect me though I can put up an act to not show my pain. I just want get over it and become someone that can be with another male and happily show affection.

I just feel that I can't do it alone... does anyone have any helpful advice?

thank you all for viewing.

The only thing I can think of is to just go for it, and put yourself out there. I don' t think you have to come out, and I don't think you should lie and try to be something you're not. But if it comes up or someone asks, just be honest and tell them you're gay. I don't know what kind of responses you'll get, but I think you'll be fine.

As far as the relationship thing, I don't think you should rush it. It's called "falling" in love for a reason...you don't expect that shit to happen, it just does. I know what it's like to be lonely and want someone to be with, as well as some sexuality issues of my own. I can't really tell you how to flirt n stuff, since I'm horrible with that kind of stuff. But just be yourself, ya know? As cliche as that sounds..
