The main thing that helped me overcome all the anxieties I had about my ʂɛҳualiƚy was to educate myself about it via online resources, forums, articles, and gay dating sites.
It was a long journey that began with confronting thoughts I had going on in my head like “Being gay is wrong”, “I don’t want to dress up in women’s clothes so surely I can’t be gay!”, “What will all my friends think?”, “What will my parents think?!”… I was in my twenties when I was finally able to accept who I was and feel proud of it.
Because of this, my coming out experience came later on in my life compared to other gay boys my age.
