Exactly.
You don't need to wear it, but some people do.
It also doesn't matter if you're good at it or not, it's how you feel wearing it/not wearing it.

As noone here even needs to know if you are gay or not, I mean you told your bro's(reasonable) AND randomers(bit odd) before you even told your parents.

That's not uncommon when people come out. Some fear that their parents won't agree with them. And then what the hell do you do? They're your parents.

OP is gay

kek

Some people feel more comfortable telling others before they tell their parents.

It's honestly the parents' fault to a degree if their children feel afraid to come out to them because they fear they won't be accepted anymore.

I think it's about time I stopped hiding who I truly am. I can't fool any of you or even my parents. Yes, since I was only ten years old, I realized who I truly was. I never told or talked to anyone about it because I thought if I did, everyone would be ashamed of me and laugh at me.*

But today, I'm going to announce to you all first, yes first, that since I was only the age of ten, I discovered....that I......was.......was......ahem, cough. Sorry this is hard for me to say. Since about as long as I can remember, I.....I.....I've deceived you all.*

And I'd liked to apologize to everyone I've hurt by doing so, including my family. Yes I am a forum troll! Yeah, I said it! And I'm not afraid to say it either! I've been this way for as long as I could remember! Let me tell you though I am not ashamed of who I am!

This is me! The real me. And I won't hide the truth from you guys forever and try to earn all of your acceptance! So yeah, thats right! I'm a forum troll, so what?

Now that I've said it, I hope you all understand! And no, I won't turn back just to please you all. I'm
sorry but, this is who I am and none of you can ever take that from me!

Whoever's feelings were hurt during reading this thread, I am sincerely sorry. But I just couldn't hide the truth from you all much longer. I hope you all still love me and treat me the same even though you now know who I really am.

Way to be an asshole and undermine a real thread by someone with real, personal issues.

An asshole? I was confessing to you all about who I really was to you all. Do you know how hard it was for me to even type that all?

I heard if you don't give idiots attention, they just shrivel up and die like leeches in soy sauce.

:rolleyes:

not so simple as you may think. I will never die. I will keep living.

You tell him pal!

Coming Out Today
 

I'm proud of you that you finally decided to come out. A lot of friends always knew I was gay after I figured that out. But it went one at the time. I publicly came out I think 2 years ago, twice, actually. One time to my class and one time the people who lived with me in boarding school. The response was amazing (yet of course there were actually one or two who "suddenly" decided to not hang out with me anymore and obviously "not" because I was gay)

I came out to my mom about 2 weeks before that. So when I told her, her first response was like "Shhhh, not so loud. Don't let the neighbors hear it". She really had to process it some time. But she later texted me how much she is proud of me. And to this day it only improved our relationship. I know coming out is a hard thing. Especially to people that are important to you and you are afraid to actually lose. But honestly it's the best feeling ever after you did it. Because you finally feel free of that heavy burden. I publicly kinda also came out on Facebook, but I was like "yaaay I updated a bit of info about me". Blah blah. Your mom will eventually learn to live with it. She might not be supportive or very nice about it, but sadly that's still the way people are.

I know it doesn't really matter, but trust me, I have fights with people on graal so often that tell me having a boyfriend is gross as ****. 95% love the fact I'm gay. And if your family doesn't support you, then find someone who likes you the way you are.
