Life

Hey Alexis,

Thank you for being so open with us about how you're feeling. From this post and another you've made, I can really see how hard you're trying to keep these feelings in, and I'm wondering, how do you think that might be affecting your life? Also, how has it been for you sharing your experiences here so far? 

hi! I’m not very open about my feelings unless it’s with words. Keeping feelings in isn’t right, I’m just afraid people will judge me for everything I think or say. It’s been good sharing my experiences

Hey there,

I'm glad it's been good sharing your experiences here. I'm wondering, is there anyone in your life who you know wouldn't judge you if you told them your feelings? 

My friends. My best friends would never judge me. Sorry for late response I was going through stuff

Hey there,

No need to apologise. I'm wondering, could you maybe be more open to your friends then? What would that be like? 

Well, one of my BFFs are actually a member of ditch the label, and she is very positive towards me. She makes me feel like i belong and she is one of the three people that know my secrets. I have three BFFs that I can trust and they accept me for me. 

Hey there,

That's good :)

Have you been able to be more open about your feelings recently? How's that going for you? 

Well, I’m teaching my sister how to be an ally, and although I’m still closeted, I know if I come out I will be supported by her. She knows I like girls, and doesn’t experience a lot of s3xual attraction towards ppl, but I haven’t told her my labels just yet. I have been talking to my cousins online now after three years, even though we haven’t seen each other in person, its still good to talk to them. I’m not open to my parents about my identities, but I’m fine with being closeted, my time will come. I still get scared sometimes, but not a lot of sadness currently. I also feel like a mix of female and genderqueer, but I don’t identify as Demigirl.
