I recently came out to a couple of people who are close to me, but not to everyone I know. My mom doesn’t really ‘get it’ but the other people I’ve told have been super supportive. I’m feeling more comfortable and more confident in myself and in my identity but I still feel like I’m hiding sometimes, I still feel like I’m dealing with a lot of internalized homophobia. I know these aren’t things that are going to change overnight, but I don’t feel like I know what I’m doing at all! And this is all on top of being 22 and trying to figure everything else out. How do I get over all of this so I can just start being me without listening to all of the noise?
