Yes it is.
It is hard for them to accept.
@sunnyKiwi1982
For me, it is was hard for me to accept who I am
I guess that happens when you also care for what others will say because of the people you love. You want to protect them, you want to be open as well but you can’t or you’re cautious.
@sunnyKiwi1982
Exactly.
For me it was my mother. Mom's approval was my downfall.
@Barltik2065
Aww. I feel you. My mom can understand but still she prefers that I end up with the opposite. My dad, hmmn.. not sure..
The feeling that you want to be proud of who you are because for the longest time you’re in a hiding. You want to be accepted and not just by everyone but especially those who meant a lot to you. Like your family and relatives.
You still consider what their friends will say and think, their co-workers, their friends in the community, in the church. Then you also consider the people you know from school, work, church etc who never knew.
All these crushes you inside, your heart and mind are very much in pain.
@sunnyKiwi1982
it really is it took me forever to come out.
@SkylerSugar3915
Agreed.
I truly have not come out.
Never officially stated it to any of my family.
At work no one knows.
So I don't think I came out ... right?
@Barltik2065
That hurts. I am sorry. That makes me sad. 🥺😔
