    I am Gay and I am proud to be gay.
    But other people can't understand that, I'm sick of having to pretend I'm "normal" just to be accepted or welcomed by other people. I've never used a chat or a forum before. But I'm feeling particularly brittle at the moment and use some inspiration and friendly advice.

    Unfortunately, they haven't really.
    I feel like I've hit a bit of a low with it all to be honest, and I guess that's why I came here :slight_smile:

    Well I hope acceptance is in your future! I wish you the best of luck. The people here are extremely accepting and a great place to find people who are like you and also struggling with the same problems.

    Welcome to EC. :slight_smile:

    I’m sorry you’ve not found acceptance and keeping up a pretence is horrible.

    I hope you find people that you can relate to here.

    Thank-you :slight_smile:
    It does feel good to just get things off your chest even if it is via a keyboard :slight_smile:
