Are You Comfortable With Your S'exuality?

[xTom]

Ever since i began to realise that i had feelings for boys, i accepted my se'xuality and so did all of my friends. But now i've come to the stage where i just want to be straight - and not have all of the questions on my back as i do now. For example if i see someone whispering or laughing when i walk past people in the street - i think "There doing it because i'm bi".

I've become really self conscious. Last year i didn't really care about what i looked like or anything like that, now i can't go out without straightening my hair and i'm always on the alert 24/7 for spots - and i've always got to wear the right clothes when i go out. Basically i'm just getting worn out from all of the pressure to look good.

I'm starting to wish i was straight because i don't want to think that everytime i hear people whispering, they're talking about my ***'uality. I might sound pathetic to some of you, but i just feel so hated for being who i am sometimes. Not by all my friends, they love me for who i am, but for all of those who don't know me.

If your one of the people whom spends ages in front of the mirror, and is always so conuose about how they appear, thats far more likly to be the reason people would comment, Most people lacking phyic abilty are limited to comment on what is evidant. That trate is very much so forfilling of the charictistic

[Allan]

That's like saying people expect you to look good?
No offence but people will of already judged you on meeting or just hearing OF you.

Don't worry about it.

I use to have no self confidence whatsoever. But then I just though, "Wth? Who cares if they laugh, that's there choice. I have friends, why should I really be bothered about the idiots."

They may not even be laughing at you personally. But, dont' feel uncomfartable, go back to when you accepted yourself. Remember, be who you are not who people on the street want you to be.

It's really strange actually when people outline these types of experiences, in relation to their sexuality. When I came out, and this comment derives more from my experiences with coming out at school, I was completely shocked how accepted it was. I mean, take in to consideration I live in the Welsh Valleys, amongst murderous homophobes, pregnant 15 year olds and racist clans. I did not experience any abuse when in school. Okay, the odd comment now and again, however in all fairness, those comments were not about "You're gay you are", it was more "You're a s'ex obsessed ****"... which obviously, i resented because that isn't the case at all. God damn stereotypes making gay guys all look like that.

Anyway... I am completely comfortable with my S'exuality... I wish sometimes I was straight, because it's so much easier to find people, and just to live life. However, I'm not, I can't help how I am, and I just accept it... and at the same time, I love being gay anyway!

Wooooh!

Comfortable? I don't know. It's not the case for me being comfortable with it seeing as i am, the problem i feel is whether other people will be comfortable which is one of my main reasons for not 'coming out' yet.
Otherwise, i suppose i'm comfortable. Confused, but comfortable - i'm not pulling my hair out over it.
