Alone

[teen.jpg]

Do any of you guys ever feel alone by the fact that you're the only person you know that isn't straight? That nobody understands what being gay or bi is like?

Yes! I feel that way all the time. I live in New York and the only other gay guy I know is my ex and we can't exactly talk easily. So whenever I need advice or just someone who understands what it's like being gay, I come here. All of my straight "girl friends" try their best to help but it's not the same. I'm here for you by the way!

Yeah, sometimes that gets me down. My friends are supportive but they're not, you know, anything to do with being LGBTQ+, so it can get lonely. Sometimes they make jokes too, not even mean ones, just ones that include sexuality and me, and I don't like them, I know they don't mean to hurt my feelings with them, like I said, they're not even hurtful, it's just I don't like them referencing my sexuality and sort of, on a mild scale, alienating me, because I can guarantee you, they don't makes straight jokes. I also feel kind of, like, embarrassed to talk about it with them, I don't know why because most of the time I'm pretty solid with my sexual orientation, it's just, I don't know, because I'm different and I want someone who is the same different as me. I do have a half way between gay and bisexual friend but he's not really the type to want to talk about it, and I have a bisexual/maybe gay transgender friend, but I don't see him in person regularly. My social anxiety makes it hard to talk at all, in general, let alone about this.

Yeah, in short, it sucks ass.

Yeah...no one is out in my school or town and its pretty lonely. To say no one understand it is also understatement. That's the worst part i think. I could get thru the being single fine at least till college if only others were more supportive.

[Twilly F. Sniper]

Yes. None of my friends are the same sexuality as me and that makes me feel alone at times.

Yeah Dude, exactly the same here, I have to play my str8 role all the times. I'm tired of it.

[Harry Smith]

I do feel alone some times. But one of the main things that keeps me going is that I know that at least I'm relatively happy compared to others in my school. Thats part of the reason why I come on here, is so that I can just talk to other bloke's who happen to be gay. I think the worse thing for me has to trying to work out if a gay is straight or not. But other than that I try to remain positive about my sexuality.

Almost all of my friends are straight, but the boy I have a crush on is bi. He's mostly straight, though, so it's tough. He probably knows what I'm going through, but is just good at not showing it.

Not really, but I haven't come out so that makes me feel lonely lol I have a friend that is bi, but I still feel like I'm the only one.

[Magnus Bane]

yes i did until my friend came ou tbut i still feel alone because he is the only other one i know who is bi or gay... you guys are the only ones i know who are gay.

[Bethany]

Yeah, it can be frustrating. Ever since I realized that I am most certainly bi, I've realized that even liberal, pro-gay marriage people still have a lot of stereotypes about LGBT people and some consider us to be "lesser" or "inferior" to an extent.
