Need help with accepting my sexuality

Hi,

I've known that I was gay for a few years but only until very recently have I been trying to accept that part of myself. I want to be with someone but at the same time I'm worry that people will treat me differently because of it. I don't want people to think that I'm some sort of sick weird person just because I happen to be gay. If anyone has any advice I would really appreciate it.

Bye,

 

The only thing I can tell you is that there will be some people that will treat you different..because they will see you in a different way. But you have to decide if your living for them or living for you...and , can you be happy if you live a life thats not you..

 

Sometimes I feel like you. I don't want to be weird and different. I've realy stressed out about it in the past. But what it comes down to is that you really have no choise. Either you accept it, or your life will suck, either way you're still gay. It isn't a bad thing, just ignore what others think.

 

There is nothing wrong with being wierd or different. Just be yourself. People are only your true friends if they love you for who you are,not something that they think you are. Don't worry about the horrible people who will think you are sick & twisted for being gay. There are people like that out there, but the best thing to do is just ignore them. Love is the most beautiful thing...don't reject it when it comes knocking at your door just because you are afraid of what people will think. The only ones who are worth your time are the ones who love you for who you are...Good luck

 

Unfortunately, people will treat you differently when you come out. But that's something you need to accept about your life, just as you've clearly accepted the fact that you're gay. But, on a more positive note, you might find out that some of the people you worry about judging you the most might actually prove themselves to be quite open and understanding. I know that when I came out, I though that my father would have a heart attack (being such a conservative, republican, fundamentalist Christian that he is). But he's totally surprised me with how understanding he's been through all of this and, honestly, my relationship with my father has never been better.

All I can say is that it's worth the risks, whatever they are!

 

Whats the saying, those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

 

I couldn't agree more. Like me for who I am, get to know me before you judge me.

I don't know you, but you are smart enough to look for answers. I like you so far.

 

i have similar problems
its weird because i'm different in other ways and i never cared about that
but i've always had sorta issues with my sexuality
i wish i could give you advice the only thing i can say is that you definately not alone

 

Hi,

Bye,
