I recently got a new job after multiple years of struggling to find work. I’m starting to settle in now but I’m realizing now how hard it is to come out of the closet AGAIN after a few years of not having to.
I’m almost 34 and naively thought I was past this but it always feels like a huge charade. Then the folks I come out to have to preform their reactions. Did they know right away? Do they act surprised?
Now I’m reflecting on the ways I acted since I started and am embarrassed I either act passing or revealed too much too soon. And that’s if everything went GOOD! This is with SUPPORTIVE COWORKERS!
I’ve spent so many years unknowingly wearing armor without realizing it was see-through
