Have you told your friends, family or acquaintances about your sexual orientation? Or even your partner? What experiences have you had (both positive and negative!)?
I have an extreme need to confide in someone. Just to hear “it's ok” or something like that from someone close to me. The pressure is now so great that sometimes when I've had a drink I hint to a friend that I have a secret and would like to tell her because I trust her. With this one friend, I really have the feeling that she would be more likely to understand without breaking off the friendship.
What are your experiences? Have those who have told someone felt relief?
