Recently I've been struggling with my identity and sexuality all my life I have been told I was Male and I had to like females well my dad wasn't around and my mom got married to a woman so I never really knew "straight" relationships but now I'm living with my dad and he does not approve of the whole "LGBT+" concept so I dont know who to talk to because I have felt like I'm trapped in the wrong body I dont know how to explain it I am falling for gender fluid people and I feel I am leaning towards that as well but I'm afraid to admit it to anyone...I guess I just need someone to talk to about this stuff

Hi @bgehman957 🙂 I think you are very wise in realizing that you need someone safe and supportive you can talk with, and congrats on taking the first step to doing that! I think you have determined that your dad would not be the most supportive to talk to, but what other people are in your life who you think might be? You can also browse listener profiles here on 7 cups if you’d like to try to find someone here as well. I think it’s something we all go through as we grow of figuring out who we are instead of who we’ve been told we are and how we’re different from those around us, so I encourage you to keep opening up and exploring your thoughts and feelings, even if it’s just by posting on here or something like journaling.
