Coming out!!

[Sigmal5824]

I just made an account here and honestly I have no idea how any of this works yet but I’m curious enough to figure it out. I’ve been reading posts for a while and finally decided to say something myself. I recently came out to my family and it didn’t go as smoothly as I hoped. It’s been a weird mix of relief and stress and I guess I’m looking for a place where I can talk without feeling judged. I’m also a gay guy who hasn’t really had any real experiences yet so everything still feels new and kind of intimidating. I’m trying to take things slow but I’m definitely open to exploring more and meeting people when the time feels right. Mostly just hoping to connect with others who get what this stage feels like and maybe learn from people who’ve been through it.

I applaud your bravery, even if coming out to your family wasn't as easy as you'd hoped.

They will most likely come around in time, once the shock's worn off. Hopefully they're open-minded and unbigoted enough to accept you as your true self.

Thanks for your kind words. It means a lot to hear that from someone who gets it. Maybe one day I'll write a follow-up story about how things go with my family or maybe we can create our own story together.

Welcome to Lit! It will get easier over time and people will accept you for your true self. And if they don't its their fault and problem not yours. Everyone deserves to be happy in life, glad your getting your chance now!

Never felt more relief than I did. I'm choosing me now, hoping I get a dick soon

Just be aware that gay dating is mostly rather different to straight. Men can and often do treat sex as far more of a disposable commodity than is typical for women; just a need to get off hard and in the moment.

Many guys, especially older ones, who claim to be bisexual really aren't, they've just reached a place where any hole's a goal and can be rather in denial and unpleasant about it afterwards. Not a problem if you want casual hookups yourself but it'll potentially hurt you if you're looking for a relationship.

Not trying to be a total wet blanket about it, but it's good to go into it with your eyes open!
