Another pride month spent in the closet. I'm out to my friends but I still feel kinda like a failure cause I can't bring myself to tell my family about it. Plus I can't even bring myself to ask my guy crush out

You know you’re never gonna be truly out there’s always gonna be someone who you haven’t came out to yet so as long as you’re cool with yourself (you might not be which is ok it takes time) that’s what really matters

I just want to have the confidence to go to pride and post on my socials without the fear of being cut off from my family. I know I shouldn’t care but it’s hard

You should care it’s ok to care. It’s ok to be afraid all your feelings are valid. But for me I decided living afraid of what if’s and possibilities has to be worse than living in the present and I’d rather be cut off from people who can’t handle me than lie to my self that they are dependable and trustworthy

If someone leaves you because you’re a fruit cake then good you didn’t need them and they were taking up time and space for real ones. It’ll hurt but so does the anxiety of what if they find out what if they do this what if they do that.

Yeah I’ll probably be doing that after I come out. I’ve already decided I’ll be low or no contact with the majority of them however they pay for my college
