Struggle

Post Body

I (18M) often feel ashamed of my sexuality, although I'm really aware of it. Like, I know there's nothing wrong about it, but knowing that a lot of people would take it as a joke or even find it disgusting makes me feel sad and frustrated.

As if it wasn't enough, I was raised in a really conservative family who always sent me to christian schools, so you can imagine.

What bothers me the most is that even when I'm surrounded by people who would accept and support me, I feel the need to hide and repress myself for some reason.

I really would like to feel as proud as other lgbt people, but I just can't.
