    Hi. Just re-joined EC after a four (?) year break. Gay 27-year-old who's still not out to family. I have a lot to work out and honestly I feel that I haven't made much progress since I was last on here.

    Not sure what to say here. I have a lot of questions to ask, and I doubt I'll be of much help to anyone else so I hope that's OK.

    Can you tell I'm in a really bad place at the moment?!

    Hey, welcome back!

    I’m sorry you’re struggling with coming out. I’m glad you came back because you can get advice here and make friends who can help you with the struggle.

    As Comrade states, you don’t have to help others. Sometimes we need help ourselves and that’s ok...l it’s what forums like this are for.

    I hope you find the help/friendship you need here... as I’m sure you will.

    Hi,

    The thing is, you know this is the place to be hence the return. :relaxed:

    I’m so glad you’re here. I’m also from the UK. London to be exact and I’m 28 so we’re around the same age. I’m only out to my immediate family but even being here has given me some confidence to say to myself if anyone was to ask, I wouldn’t deny being gay.

    There’s no rush. Everyone moves in their own time when it suits them and when they’re comfortable. But you know, until then we’re all here for you. :relieved:

    Amz... :hearts:

    Yeah, I'm defintiely at the stage where I can tell strangers I'm gay if they ask.

    Thank you!
