Hi everyone. As a child, I was brought catholic, so was my friends and family. As a result, I haven’t been able to express how I feel or come out to anyone, out of fear of their reaction.

Last week I was on a date with a girl I met off tinder, during our date we ran into a friend of mine, and long story short she told everyone and now nobody will talk to me etc.

My dad has told me it’s just a phase that will pass but idk how to explain it isn’t, and he won’t listen to me, nor do i have anybody to vent or talk to about this situation which really isn’t helping my anxiety as this is not how i wanted to come out :/

Anyways, i have no clue what to do or what to say as they keep ignoring me. And, are there any places where I can meet new people irl/online to talk to/get support from?
