I don't know what I'm feeling right now??!?!?

It's like there's this huge weight on my chest, like the feeling of overwhelming sadness except there's nothing to be sad about. I can feel this huge urge to feel emotional but I don't know why...I'm just feeling the weight of the world. Maybe it's because I've been watching too many LGBT related videos and I've started to think about certain people in my family and how they'd react to my being gay. Maybe that's it? I don't know, I just feel very...exhausted, nauseated, crushed by this huge weight that will not go away.

A lot of my gay friends, before they came out felt similar to what you are sharing on here. I can't imagine having to hide such a big part of who you are. Tell them when you feel ready. And I'm keeping you in my thoughts.

It's not even that...like I'm out to a majority of people. EVERY SINGLE PERSON I went to school with knows I'm gay. My dad knows, my stepsister and stepmom (I think) know, my mother knows, my aunt knows and my cousin knows. It's other people who don't play a big part in my life...the weight of them not accepting me is too much, which doesn't make sense cuz I rarely talk to them!

@TheDarkestZero: being judged in general then. I can tell you this, people will anyways. Just keep being you. ✌🏼️
