#supportyourlovedones

I have a newfound respect for anyone who can come out of the closet. fr I legit just mentioned I was questioning my sexuality to 2 friends and they exploded on me. honestly, anyone who can come out and be prepared to face any negative reactions is absolutely 100% amazing. those negative reactions u get hurt really badly. I would know since my two friends who were like brothers to me reacted badly and it hurt so much.

I honestly don't know what's the big deal with being LGBTQ. Like love u love u know? and be yourself.

Anyways, even if u don't get support irl, there's always online! A friend cheered me up and helped me figure out my sexuality when no one irl would. Turns out I'm demisexual! Honestly, having support from an adult (even tho he wasn't there in irl, only online) helped so much. I wish I had gotten that support. My best friend tried to help me figure things out but she's my age and was under lots of pressure too, more than me actually.

I don't understand why some people won't support their kids. Saying this as someone who struggled to figure things out by myself for years, literally 5 minutes with an adult just helped me figure everything out. Hell if I only had gotten that a few yrs ago I wouldn't have to deal with years of confusion and loneliness because any adult I turned to would shun me when it got out I was questioning.

Support your kids! Your friends! Your siblings! Hell, even the random person on the street. I can't even stress how much a bit of support meant to me from someone online I didn't even know their name. Just offering support means so much.
