Saelune Despite my family not understanding that well, and my grandfather saying I shouldn't go out in public like that "for my own safety", I am deadset on doing so. Your grandad's got a good point.

Meeatu Saelune Despite my family not understanding that well, and my grandfather saying I shouldn't go out in public like that "for my own safety", I am deadset on doing so. Your grandad's got a good point. So I should repress who I am until I am so depressed that I kill myself? How is that safer? Either I go out and be myself where I might die...or hide it and pretend Im something Im not until I do die, likely by my own hand.

Either I go out and be myself where I might die...or hide it and pretend Im something Im not until I do die, likely by my own hand. ...or you could be less melodramatic. You don't have to shine to be golden, if you catch my drift. Accepting yourself for who you identify as is not as outward an act as it may seem. If you're looking to be comfortable in your own skin, it doesn't matter whether or not other people are comfortable seeing it. So my question is, why force them to? Especially when it spells serious danger to yourself. Look, I'm not saying that you shouldn't express yourself. I'm just saying that people can be more vicious and cruel than you think. (though of course, they can also be more loving and kind than you think too) Don't take it personally, As a guy who's been passionately outward with my sexuality since a young age, and as a guy who's earned many a beating and an unkind word, not to mention a rape and a f**-dragging for it, I'm just asking you to keep in mind that people will surprise you, and not always for the better.

Ok well...that...thats different. A downer, but...well, its different you saying taht though, compaired to my grandfather. But I have been so locked away in my shell, still am really, and more and more that nagging idea to end it has been growing, and it just seems like hiding anymore will cultivate it. I am scared though, all the time. Im certainly suspicious of most, and really, if I wasnt in NY, Id probably be even more cautious. I know people are terrible, its kind of my base view, but this is one of those risks I have to take.

I can understand how hiding yourself away would make you feel awful, but having to live in constant suspicion of everyone sounds much worse to me.

Do it! There are a lot of people in the world who hide themselves. You don't have to be one of those people!!

Saelune RoxyChick2003 College is full of nice people. Nicer than high school, anyway. Depending on the place you live and such, I'm sure you'll be fine. Yeah, people are going to judge you. But think of it this way: Everyone judges everyone all the time. From bad-driving, to odd coloured clothing, to the way you speak. No matter what, people will always be judging you. Just try to remember that the people who matter to you, are the only ones that should have opinions that matter to you. Everyone else can just go shove it. XD Its the stares that really get to me. Sometimes its a look of confusion...or sometimes disgust...but it just kills me inside... unfortunately you will deal with that for the entirety of your life. and as hard as it is, all you can do is realize there is nothing wrong with you, that its none of your business what others think of you only what you think of yourself. but support from others certainly goes a long way to making yourself feel better so you need to surround yourself with close friends and make an effort to find new ones as well in your classes. surrounding yourself with people who care about you will make you feel more comfortable around those who dont care for you. you're very brave to try to shift your life to what and who you really are. to what makes you happy. we maybe only people who you talk to online you may never get to meet any of us but we are all here for you. cheering you on.
