i know they will support its just really awkward they think im a anti lgbtq cuz my parents are and its also just a big comitmint to embrace being non-binary and its kinda scary but it also feels right so i feel i need to tell my friends but idk advice?

Ok first of all i recommend be in a safe place when you come out. this really helps kind of calm down the situation. second, writing a letter or smt could help to separate the emotions. just make sure your safe and dont care about it being awkward, its gonna be like that for a while

#

perfect, then doing it over text is prolly the best option

somber thistle
#

ya ig i just cant bring myself to send the message not cuz they will dislike me just cuz idk its scary ig

oh yeah its scary, but you dont have anything to worry about, not really. coming out is really weird but youll get through it i believe in you. its gonna be weird or scary for a while and you dont have to some out but getting it off your chest is great, and since theyre supportive what is there to worry about? if you want, we can do this, i come out to my parents as a therian while you come out to your friends on the same day, so you know your not alone. trust me it is weird but you gotta get through it sometimes.

being 14 and still acting like a kid is ok, sometimes our brains just grow differently. nothing is ever wrong about anyone. and what you said about your parents, dont come out to them. i learnt that the hard way when i came out to some of my friends. if you dont feel safe then dont tell them.

#

i know your going through some dark times and its ok. your not the only one, im going through stuff and if you see the other posts there are so many more. but the important thing to remember is that sometimes, you gotta pick yourself up and move on, and i know you probably get that a lot, "move on", but sometimes what that means is picking yourself up and doing somethign you love.

#

i always told myself i had no future, that was when i was in jounior high

somber thistle
#

no i dont mean i act like one i feel like one as in i cant do anything my parents do anything for me and i very much can do these thing i dont but i cant make myself i feel like a horrible person who doesn nothing with my life i wanna go outside but i dont my screen time is 10+ hours a day i sleep in all the time wasting any time i use for not online i dont even clean my room and im to lazy to do anything other then game all day i dont leave my room or my house other then school which im failing i feel awful when im online but still continue to anyway and i cant stop being online

#

being online can be a outlet for some and maybe thats your outlet

mellow dock
#

you cant bring yourself to?

somber thistle
#

ya

#

its easier to just give up

mellow dock
#

youre right

#

but

#

giving up isnt the end all be all

#

something you need to understand is that you right now is not you in the future

somber thistle
#

but wont rn effect my future

mellow dock
#

sure it can, but it aint the end of it all. your future still will be good and ill promise you that

somber thistle
#

but i dont see a futrue if i fail highschool and stay lonely as shit

mellow dock
#

mhm. ever heard of the phrase that goes something like "F students are the inventors" or smt like that. well that doesnt matter, and neither do grades.

#

sure you need some good grades for college

#

you can still do things without college

somber thistle
#

i dont wanna go to college

mellow dock
#

somber thistle
mellow dock
#

#

steve jobs, the founder of apple

#

albert einstein

#

the wright brothers

somber thistle
#

those are genius who can pass failing

mellow dock
#

benjamin franklin

#

who says youre not a genius?

somber thistle
#

and they have motivation to do stuff i dont

#

and no im not a genius

mellow dock
#

youve got the wrong mindset

#

you have the chance to be genius.

#

get out there and do something

#

its gonna suck for a long time but the rest of it is smooth sailing

#

trust me and take that leap of faith and try something.

#

ive gtg for a bit but ill be back dw

somber thistle
#

i have tried and it never works so i gave up a long time ago

mellow dock
#

back

#

but does it really not work or do you go out there, try smt, it doesnt work the first time, you give up?

#

sometimes it takes time and effort

#

sleep on this stuff and think about if you want to do the me coming out with you

somber thistle

#

thats the point of effort. when i started my musical career, it was hard and i wasnt the best but with the time and effort and not giving up i got through it and now i play in a band, we sometimes play gigs, and more

#
