Hey everyone,
I've been lurking here for a while and finally decided to share my story. I came out as gay last month at 28, and I'm still processing everything.
For years I told myself I was just "picky" or hadn't found the right woman yet. The denial was real. But after meeting someone who made me realize what I was actually feeling, I couldn't ignore it anymore.
My family has been surprisingly supportive, though my mom did ask if I was "sure" about 20 times lol. Friends have been amazing too.
Anyone else come out later in life? How did you deal with feeling like you "wasted" time? I know that's not the right way to think about it, but the feeling is still there.
Thanks for reading ❤️
