I'm not sure what to say here. I'm a gay man who isn't always so proud of it. I really don't know why but I still struggle with being gay and often feel quite ashamed of it. I don't have many friends and very few people to talk to. I think people see that look of boredom and depression on my face and it makes them uncomfortable and so they just leave. I can't blame them though, I'm not much fun to be around. I really try to remain positive and constructive but my default setting is kind of cynical (cynical but clever . I think maybe talking to others about these things could help me. I still want to connect with people and make new friends and so that's pretty much why I'm here. There are two sides to me: one is scientific and technical, the other is artistic. I'm currently finishing my bachelor's degree in physics and I also work on making electronic music (mostly EDM with some down-tempo stuff). Anyways, I hope to make some kind of contribution to this forum and its members. Greetings!
Thanks, sorry to come off as so negative. I just joined this forum today and from what I've seen it seems pretty nice. How are you?
I'm good, Thank You. I'm glad I found EC...I came out recently and not knowing a lot of people EC made things a little easier.
That's cool. I've stepped out of the closet, but I haven't stepped out into the world as a gay man. Who was the first person you told?
Welcome. I hope you can find a place here where you can shed your shame about being gay. Perhaps your artistic side is where you can find your beauty, your expression of your true self, and celebrate being gay. You have a right to happiness and love.
