Being in the closet sucks!

[Green Arrow]

Damn, I hate being in the closet, especially when I have so many feelings I want to show and embrace but I can't. It sucks because all of my friends are in some sort of relationship and there's me like "Helloooo!". It's just so frustrating!

I know how you feel. I'm waiting to come out too but my dad doesn't think gay people actually like men. He just thinks we're weird.

I think that if your having problems with your sexuality, the best way to deal with it is to talk it over with your parents. They may have trouble accepting it, but I really don't think they would kick you out over it or anything. Who knows, maybe they had the same issue but realized they really actually were interested in the opposite sex. I know a Very devout Christian family who has a son who's gay; they treat him like everyone else.

I understand, ultimately, the best thing you can do is come out and tell your closest friends. If they're your true friends, they will continue being your friend and support you.

You can be in the closest and still be yourself for the most part you can do all the things and stuff you wanna do you just can't talk to people about guys you like or that you think are cute.

Being in the closet makes u put up a barrier of trying to not even 'seem gay'. It's hard to get excited about anything or be yourself and at the same time keep a secret like that. Not being able to talk about guys is a big deal also. Makes a relationship near impossible for one thing

Some guys don't do that they just do want they want for the most part and think fuck the guys who don't like me. I do see where you're coming from though with the dating it is harder being in the closet.

The thing is I did tell them but they didn't take it well at all and my confidence plummited to an all time low. I haven't had the confidence to talk to them about it again. This was September time last year. :L I don't really care what anyone else thinks, I just want my family behind me before I come out.

Actually, your family should be the LAST step, not the first. That way you have friends to rely on if your family is full of intolerant bastards.

A few of my friends do know, I just want the support of my family before i come out fully and publicly. I don't know what I'd do without them if I did come out commpetely without them.

When you say family do you mean like your parents or everyone. With coming out to your family I'd think it'd be easier coming out to the people you're closest with then work your way into telling some of the older family members.

My parents. :( I don't know what I'd do without them and the thought that they wouldn't like me for who I am just scares me so much. But I also want to be open with who I am, I keep on see sawing back and forth. I'm scared, I really am.

Just stay calm breathe and take a deep breathe. There are tons of people who come out to their parents and at first they don't really accept them. But over time they slowly start to realize they can't turn their backs in their own child. If it scare you that much try coming out to other people you care about to build your confidence back up. :hug: :hug: it'll get easier over time.

Listen, true loving parents will love you no matter what. Yes, many parents may hate the fact that you are homosexual, bisexual, transgender, different, you name it. But just because of all that, doesn't mean they don't love you. My case is different, I have a loving single mother and a distant father, and even though I rarely see my dad, I know he loves me and despite the fact that I hate that he was so distant to me I still love him.

Thats what your parents will do, they may not like what you're saying but they still love you. If they seem mean they are speaking from a broken heart. Time heals all wounds. I'll keep you in my prayers, bless you! I wish you well! Good luck!:yes:

I don't understand why I can't come out I know that my friends wouldn't care, my mum wouldn't... my dad might but I couldn't care less what he thinks. Everyone calls me gay its not like im careful about what I do or say but the thing stopping me is, do they really believe I am gay? And if I come out will the way they act towards me change? Like I wouldn't care they didn't accept it but if they start harassing I just don't think i would have the energy to deal with it
