No one understands.
Your family claims they’re “allies,” but every time you see them, it’s the same thing. They might not understand your feelings and struggles even if you have family support.
Another dinner was spent as the “spokesperson” for all gay people, answering the same ignorant questions. Finding the right words to make them understand is challenging, especially since they are not on the same page as you.
Your parents mean well – they do – but they don’t seem to grasp even the basics of your identity.
And no matter how often you try to explain it, they either can’t or won’t understand.
It’s isolating to live this way.
Living in a straight world is not easy. Friends you have known for many years want to be supportive, but they don’t know how.
How do you explain the challenges you face as a member of the LGBTQ+ community? You are a minority in a straight world and finding the answers to the questions you have is not easy. For instance, do you come out of the closet or not? How do you overcome feeling marginalized for the way you think?
It’s not like you have tried to find the answers. Perhaps you went to see an “LGBT+-friendly” therapist, but you felt like they didn’t see you as a person.
The weight of loneliness and lack of support feels like it’s slowly crushing you. You’re desperate to find relief, but making any change feels impossible.
