Hi.
i just recently discovered that I was gay. I was in denial for 3 years, and i finally realised it was killing me inside. I am homosexual. Im scared though . I don't know how to tell my parents, and i don't know how to tell my friends.
HELP ME DOCTOR!!!!!
I know this is probably A scary point in your life your probably very confused. I've dealt with many patients with your same type of confusion. YOu dont know where to go and how to tell your loved ones:
for one just so you know you are no different than anyone else don't think of youself as any less, afterall, all men are equal.
When it comes to your friends it easy, just tell them, if they accept it good, tey probably will say, "We knew it all along." and that's not a bad thing. Now when it comes to your family PARENTS that's a little bit trickier. There are many ways of telling your parents your gay one way is the it could be worse technique I've seen this done and it usually results in crying and is not the best way but it is one way.
where you tell your parents Im dieing of cancer, and then they may get very emotinal and you say I'm just kidding, I'm just gay. THis is something I don't recomend it's a way of getting around it but it's not the best. I've seen parents come to me devestaed because there kids told them they wer dieing of cancer, and the reponce from most of them I wish they wouldve just told me straight up, "Im gay." so thats the best advice I can give you. I hope it works out for you.
Please tell me if this works [ dr.solution's advice column | Ask dr.solution A Question ]
