Advice & Discussions
OutingMyslef?
Hi to everyone :) I am SORRY but this is long, it is just I have so much to unload, so I hope at least some of you will be VERY patient with me. I thank you in advance. It has been an incredible six months and so much turmoil in me I am really having such a hard time processing everything.
I can't do this anymore.. How should I come out to them!?
This is really stressing me out. I know I may be making a big deal out of nothing but I feel like the walls are closing in on me & I have no where to escape. I'm sorry if I'm bothering you guys but you're the only people I can really talk to about this.

Have you ever been outed?
So...I've been outed. I am just barely out to myself and...well now more people than I care for know. I feel violated. I have explained this to the persons in question, and they seem to have understood why it was not there place to out me to others, no matter what, but still what is done is done and I am going to a big dinner this week and cannot but think that I'll be quite nervous about all this.
