Hello I’m new. I’m a 29 year old lesbian and I’m finally starting to come out after keeping it a secret for most of my life. I’m looking to meet other queer people who are also trying to come out, especially people about my own age. I feel stupid for leaving it this late to do anything about it but I’ve realised that I can’t ignore these feelings forever. I like video games, reading, art, music, a mix of things really. So yeah it’s nice to meet ya.
Hi, Welcome to EC. There a quite a few people on here that have come out or are considering coming out in their late-twenties (as well as much older). Please don't feel stupid. You really aren't the only one and I'm sure you have reasons for not coming out earlier. I'm 30 and not out yet. My situation is a little complicated because I'm in a long term heterosexual relationship and we have a young daughter. I hope you find the support you're looking for on EC. It's a really friendly place.
Thanks. I know I’m not really alone. I just feel like there’s not a lot of space for people like myself. I tried to join another forum before this one only to get rejected because it was for people between 16 and 25. Oh well. Have you told anyone in real life? I imagine your situation would be very difficult. I was a 90’s child and back then Australia wasn’t really gay friendly. I think that things have changed since then and that people are more open to gay people now... so I’m trying to take baby steps and get more comfortable about my sexuality.
Hi I'm new too, welcome! In a similar situation and feel a bit left behind! Wishing you only the best.
hi! im no where near as old as you and struggling to understand also! so far i've loved this forum. i hope u enjoy it!
Yeah, I can relate to that. There are a few LGBT support services near me, but they're all aimed at the 16-25 age group. It's frustrating. I've only told my therapist. The thought of telling anyone else make me feel uncomfortable, but hopefully we'll get there eventually. Have you told anyone?
Hi! I am quite young, but I am also trying to come out just like you. I am a bit afraid of doing so but I am so glad I found this place today.
