living in the closet - Empty Closets - A safe online community for gay ...

Well, I discovered that I'm gay a few years ago and I promised to myself that I would never come out of the closet. NOT a SINGLE person. I didn't mind at first because I was thinking, "You know what, this is good because i can focus all my energy on other things like study and my future career. Who needs a boyfriend anyway?" And I genuinely believed so, I believed that I can just stay in the closet forever. And I always searched things like "how to look manly" or "how to hide that you are gay" on the internet and the only responses I saw were something like "It's not worth it, hiding in the closet" or "you should come out etc.." which used to make me so angry because those are not the answers that I was looking for.

Then slowly things get harder. I thought that I have always been good at hiding and keeping secrets etc.. but this was so different. It got worse overtime and one day, without planning, I just told my dad. He has been VERY accepting and I felt a lot better that he knows but something was still missing. I wasn't still that happy. Two years later (On the 25th of December 2012) I decided to tell my brother while I was driving him home. He has been very accepting and kind as well. After coming out to both of them, I have been a very happy person. More happy than those years I stayed in the closet. Still, my friends think that I'm straight because i have no plan to tell them anytime soon but they don't matter because my dad and my brother are the important ones in my life. What I'm trying to say is you should come out. You don't even have to come out to everybody if you don't want to but at least the important ones in your life should know. The only reason not to come out is if it will endanger your life (ex. living in a very homophobic area or in places where being gay is illegal or will get you executed, like Saudi Arabia). Good luck with everything!
