Hi, I guess. I'm almost 18 and I'm from the UK. I'm having a massive internal debate right now over whether to say what my name is, because despite the fact that it's unlikely I can't stop the "what if people find out" going round in my head. So for now, I'm me I guess this is me kind of coming to terms with the fact that I'm not exactly as straight as I always assumed, with great difficulty. It's not something I'm comfortable with entirely, yet, and I'm not exactly sure what my sexuality is beyond "not-entirely-straight". Posting on here is slightly terrifying, because in a way it feels like I'm stepping over this massive boundary by admitting this to anyone, even the internet, but at the same time it feels liberating and good and right for those exact same reasons? I hope I'm making sense here. Anyway, it's great to come on here, and see that I'm not the only one dealing with this. Nice to meet you all - and sorry for my rambling!
Okay, I'll go with Kim Thank you for all making me feel so welcome. I'm sat here with the most ridiculous smile on my face right now, because even though logically I knew it before, coming on here it's like "wow; I'm really not the only one." and it's completely awesome I tend to ramble a lot - sorry!
Welcome mate, just wanted to assure you that you are not alone in any way shape or form. What your going through now is exactly what i went through, i even went as far as making up a fake facebook account to speak to a guy, and then when he asked my name, i couldnt tell him, even though i knew there was no way of it getting out through him. even now im still not out to anyone and as you can see, im still using an alias, like you, the fear of being found out is too much to overcome. but i have so far found on here that its a lot easier to talk to people and its a very welcoming place. im a bit older than you but can totally relate to what your going through, so with that being said, massive respect to you for signing up an posting
