I'm a 26 year old guy living in SoCal. I live at home with my parents. I’ve never done anything with a guy. Why? Because I’m scared of coming out. I have strict, conservative, religious parents. I know they would disown me if they knew. Coming from an Asian background, we put our families before everything in life. It is both a blessing and a curse to have such a strong family bond. I didn't grow up in a rich household, yet my parents worked hard so we never felt like we lacking the essentials as I grew up. I was babied and sheltered, and now in my 20's I feel like I never grow up. I never did the normal things growing up. I focused on being a model student to live up to their ideal of a perfect son. I did well in school. I didn't partake in drugs or alcohol. I didn't part or go clubbing. I did everything I was supposed to and yet I’m scared to lose them if I ever come out. If I have to choose them over me, then I will always choose them because I have owe everything to them.

Can anyone relate?
