feeling gay
hey there!
i am a teen (m), and i currently feel like i am gay. in my area, everybody thinks that being gay is weird and disgusting, people often joke about other gay people they see. so i really dont have anybody to open up to in person. i would want to but i couldnt handle everybody thinking i am weird and id loose my friends, even my family thinks it is weird.
what would you do in my sutuation? does anybody have any advice? i just want to open up to somebody in person but i cant because there is just nobody that i trust that wouldnt tell it onward. its just weighing me down a lot and i feel kinda depressed about it tbh.

🥺
I'm sorry you are struggling and you have no one to talk to .
Growing up is hard, experiencing different feelings, not knowing what or who to turn to.
You are not weird or disgusting at all.
Never forget that.
It's important to not put any pressure on yourself , you are coming to terms with alot of things at the moment, and in time, you'll feel more comfortable.
Is there a trusted teacher or counsellor in your school to talk to?
💕💜
heyy, thanks for your replyð§¡, it really does mean a lot.
from what i know, our school doesnt have any counselors nor do i know any adults that i can open up to. my only option is finding people online, which kinda sucks (no hate, i just think it would feel better to talk to someone in person), but better than nothing.

@tommakaron
Oh I hundred percent understand you, theres no substitute for talking to someone in person but you are only young, so please don't go online and reach out to any inappropriate people, who only seek to take advantage. It might be good for you to join the teen community here at seven cups 🥰
@tommakaron
My thoughts are to find people who are also gay or in the queer community. Do they exist? Are there safe (allies) in your community or even online? (even here on cups!)
They can be able to help sort through some of these feelings and considerations you have. This journey can be lonely and difficult when there are homophobic people around, but there are also people that care and want to see you thrive <3
hey!
from what i know, there are no queer communities that i know of in my area. thats why i thought id search online, but couldnt really find any either.
also thanks for the message, it really means a lot <3
@tommakaron
Here's some resources you could look into that's online:
1. Thrive Lifeline *** Server

2. LGBTQ Center Search
https://www.lgbtqcenters.org/LGBTCenters
3. The Trevor Project Community (TrevorSpace)
https://www.thetrevorproject.org/visit-trevorspace/
Ah sorry, please disregard the first resource I listed!
hey, thank you sooo so much for this reply! it trul does mean a lot.
i dont know of any gay/queer groups in or around my area. i would definitley love to talk to another person that also feels gay/queer but i cant find any in person, and i have no idea how to find them online. thats why i tried reaching out here on the app. i hope ill be able to find another person to talk to.
from what i know, our school doesnt have any sort of counselling or anything of similar nature.
and again, thank you so much for the message and your thoughts.
