    Hi all, sorry to burden yas with me problems.

    Im a 22 year old guy, and gay, but i jus cant except this about myself. And i was fine with not excepting it until reacently when i started to feel lonely.

    Ive had plenty of offers from men, and women but i never was interested enough, thought i was just weird. But now i wanna find someone who i can share everything with. No one else knows im gay and its getting me really really down. Everyone thinks a a pure ladies man, a man whore nd all that but its not true.

    Im scared to tell anyone of my friends cause i think they wont accept me or they will think im a liar nd ive lied to them for years(which is true, but only out of fear). I could never tell my family cause i know they would freak. I just feel so alone and its gettin me very down and i can talk to no one about it.

    You should post on the gay/lesbian/bi-sexual forum, you can do it anonymously too and I'm sure they'll give you great advice on coming out/accepting yourself for who you are.

    You are who you are, if your family can't accept that then f*ck them you've got your own life to live. I'm sure you'd be surprised at the amount of people who'll accept it and support you too.

    Your friends will accept you, of course. Hell, I occassionaly get suspected of being gay so I know if i decided to change my mind about the whole thing it wouldnt surprise many people :p

    I've had friends come out of the closet and not once has anyone ever apprehensive toward them. Theyre just another one of the guys really; just with the obvious exceptions.

    Your friends will be fine I imagine. Any that aren't I wouldn't worry about.
