It's only natural to be scared in any situation in which you are being "exposed" in any way: you are opening yourself up for criticism, and that...
I'm glad that I was able to help and that you were able to talk to a friend. Coming out to the parents can make anyone's brain knotty. I'm...

I'm glad that you've found the motivation that you get work done and that you plan to visit the BUP. Those are wonderful steps to take to get...
