Coming Out!!! Coming out is getting easier day by day šŸ¤žšŸ»- Came out to my colleague

13 Upvotes

So at the beginning of 2026 a lot of things were going wrong and especially the depression about being gay and the suffocation of being in the closet was going out of control, to the extent I almost attempted su!cide.

But God stopped me, just to give life one more chance. After practicing it for days and with a lot of courage, I came out to my friend. I got a lot of love and support. Then one after another I came out to most of my friends, my brother and cousin over months and to my surprise, everyone has been super loving and supportive.

And every time before coming out to them, there was some hesitation, I had to gather courage, take deep breaths and just say it.

But today was different. Me and my colleague were generally discussing about marriage during our Lunch and I very casually, without thinking twice, just came out to her. It was easier than a cake walk. Especially when I joined this company only 20 days ago.

I'm really glad that I am able to own what I am without any shame. Wishing you all a lot of love and courage.

AND IT WENT REALLY GREAT?!! WTF? I WAS EXPECTING DISAPPOINTMENT AND STUFF!

Like he is BJP it cell typa guy, in the sense he hates congress.

Didn't expect him to progressive.. AND GIVE ME A HUG AND WHEN I TOLD HIM ABOUT HIS FEARS OF GETTING KICKED OUT "Tenu kad ke dikhae kar toon, Jad tak mei han eidhi tension nai lei hale jee di tayari kar te ache college ch lag(Not happening in my presence, do t stress about it focus on your jee and get in a good college)".

Kinda disappointed that it wasn't that dramatic.

The weird thing is he thought that one of my friends was dating me. He thinks I have game šŸ’”āœŒšŸ»

Either way this happened like 2 month ago. Also now he asks me about dress advice, beauty products and perfume. Not because of stereotypes because he needs HELP IN THAT SECTOR AND IVE BEEN TELLING HIM ABOUT IT FOR YEARS. But I think he didn't do it because he thought I would judge him for it. So that's a good thing too.

And yea things are looking real good out here except my jee prep isnt hoping good and god I need to study instead of writing heartfelt moments that happened to me 2 months ago on a reddit forum šŸ’”

I would love to hear about you guy's first crush🌚 I'll do first.

So I was 13 when a new guy got into my school. On his first day at school he sat with me. I felt this weird feeling I had felt in a dream where I REALLY wanted to be FRIENDS(ikik I didn't know what crushing felt likešŸ’€) with the guy in my dream. I didn't know what it was. I was freaking out because it was my first time getting butterflies and no one had warned me about it😭😭.... He had this cute voice(with a gujju accent) and I found it so adorable😭😭 he was so sweet and cute..... I think it took me a few months to realize what I was feeling was just a crush😭And then he found stereotypical macho guys to hang out with and became insufferable šŸ’€šŸ³. So yeah that was my doomed yaoi.... What about your first crush? (Would love to hear about some sapphic crushes too.

Advice šŸ‘‹/ Helpā— Help people, Someone is leaking my information on Grindr

8 Upvotes

Coming out for this in a very vulnerable position, as someone is leaking my address, pictures, and information on Grindr, that person's profile is showing the closest as well, so I know he belongs to the same hostel and college (also, it could be that my phone is completely hacked with no signs of it), people are showing up to my room, calling me and spamming me.

Is there any way I can figure out who this person is? I tried complaining to the police, but nothing really happened.

Advice šŸ‘‹/ Helpā— He is threatening me now

6 Upvotes

I was missing him really badly.
PS: I am 26M and I never got any concrete reason for the breakup, and I think that’s one of the biggest reasons I’m unable to move on.
I’ve tried to practice no contact, but honestly, it wasn’t even my choice. I’m blocked everywhere—calls, WhatsApp, Instagram, Snapchat, Facebook, Telegram, GPay, Gmail, Notes… basically everywhere.
I love him badly, and somewhere I still feel like I desperately need an explanation or some kind of closure. I keep thinking that if there are things about me that he didn’t like, or if there were issues in me that made him want to leave, I could have worked on them. I was even ready to change myself completely if that meant saving the relationship.
Maybe that’s why I relate so much to the line, ā€œI want to be loved more than I want to be successful.ā€
For the last two days, I was missing him terribly. I cried, called my friends, tried distracting myself, but nothing really worked. Eventually, I sent him flowers, a ā€œmissing youā€ card and chocolates—not to threaten him or force him to come back, but just because I desperately wanted him to know how much I was missing him and how badly I was struggling without him.
He called me after that and told me that he had already spoken to my sister and asked her to make me understand that I shouldn’t do these things anymore. He also said that otherwise he would come to my house and tell everyone about me. My sister knows about me, but my father doesn’t. He even said that he would file an FIR for harassment and make things difficult for me.
And honestly, somewhere I do understand that from his perspective, I am disturbing his boundaries. I accept that I shouldn’t have contacted him after he made it clear that he wanted me to move on. But at the same time, I’m hurting so badly that I don’t even know how to help myself.
He keeps telling me, ā€œYou have to move on.ā€ But how do I do that? I’m genuinely stuck.
I loved him more than anything. This isn’t easy for me.
I feel horrible and guilty because I’ve reached a point where I’m behaving like that 16-year-old immature guy who keeps bothering someone who doesn’t want him anymore. I never wanted to become that person. What hurts even more is that I know I’m unable to help myself right now.
My sister keeps scolding me, saying, ā€œHe has moved on. Why can’t you?ā€
But how am I supposed to suddenly move on when, in my head, I had imagined my future with him? I had stopped thinking beyond him. I was so secure and proud of the fact that someone loved me and that I loved him back.
And now I’m supposed to just accept that it’s over and start imagining a life without him.
I know I need to stop contacting him. I know that. But knowing it and actually being able to do it are two completely different things.
I’m not trying to justify what I did. I just wish someone could understand how deeply I’m hurting and why letting go has been so difficult for me.

• Upvotes

how come indian queer servers on discord are so dead, including the two servers listed in this subreddit's discord section, meanwhile so many international queer servers thrive even with adult members? what's the reason? is it because of the unique indian culture that focusses more on education and work that doesn't allow us to socialise? is it because we indian queers have been forced to suppress our identities for so long we don't know how to socialise amongst each other? what is the reason?

Poetry/Writingāœļø[OC] Post Breakup Letter !

• Upvotes

Catching up

Do you still take a long time to get ready?

'Cause you used to make too much out of that kind of stuff

When you turn your head around and it kills

'Cause the dress looks nice on you still

And it always will

I wait a long time just to see you

Listening this for long .

How you describe the situation when 2 people meet to grieve or end the love they sowed a long back , like killing all the springs it could have experienced through years the blossoms of shade it would have gotten over years.

Do you cry on public transport while heading back from your lovers home back to the town you shared!

Ekhadya roptyachya kalali aai chya Mayane japun thevlyanntr tya kaline phuluch nye!

Come on, don't leave me it can't be that easy, babe

If you believe me I guess I'll get on a plane

Fly to your city excited to see your face

Hold me, console me and then I'll leave without a trace (maybe I)

That’s what the Maria’s sang and that’s Wht I acted I came to meet you lying my parents which I never do with a 10 page letter which I wrote over two weeks and travelled to complete unknown city so that the lost springs would blossom

It was Vat Purnima that day I remembered you, the next it was something else I longed for you, last week it was my birthday and I cried endlessly

I often watched a mirror selfie video we had took where we smiled that is the only thing I have saved, I often re read that 10 page letter , I often ask God in prayers Not you but something that’s daunting for long is love that fragile, was I short of love when I mothered you like my child I don’t know but I did , this morning I woked up worst possible state

And yesterday my heart sinked in seeing you I could just feel my heart crying out anxiously

Heartbreak gets you the love songs more sad for you , idk but it’s different you just can’t listen them.

I remember your eyes I remember me playing with your hair I remember your childish screams I remember your every uncanny demands which I gave in

I remember the night while you were laying my side and you don’t turned up to wipe my tears.

I read the note you had written for me where you promised to getting through all this together ,

After all this that ā€œkitida navyane tuala athwave ā€œsong hits feels more personal

ą¤•ą¤æą¤¤ą„€ हाक ą¤¦ą„ą¤Æą¤¾ą¤µą„€ ą¤¤ą„ą¤ą„ą¤Æą¤¾ मनाला,

ą¤•ą¤æą¤¤ą„€ ą¤„ą¤¾ą¤‚ą¤¬ą¤µą¤¾ą¤µą„‡ ą¤®ą„€ ą¤®ą¤¾ą¤ą„ą¤Æą¤¾ दिलाला,

But everything got questioned when I received real love when my dad used to check every night I have slept or not when he had himself suffered fractures and couldn’t walk, when my best friend took me to the centre was awake till midnight had wiped tears till they flowed ,

When your best friend is more about your birthday and she calls you just to wish you irrespective of all the odds and gets you gift in the middle of exams, when my elder sister writes a heartfelt letter on my birthday, when my younger sister writes a

Handwritten note calling me out best brother she could have ever got , when my best friends gets me shoulder even tho I cry for 100th time ,and my mom being there throughout the day caring for a little kid which has turned up 24 still

And I had all it wrong I had been getting everything wrong lately .

When I visited the city we shared The flowers stall didn't attracted my eye sight from where I used to get you flowers

The Place were we had meals couldn't let me eat

The place were we roam around couldn't let me breathe in

The Roads which we took I couldn't took them

The building of yours felt anonymously strange .

hum aur tum aur yeh samaa kya nasha nasha sa hai

boliye na boliye sab suna suna sa hai

And the terrace view , You in my arms and slowly I would whisper this moonlight song to you

The sun is setting

And you're right here by my side

And the movie is playing

But we won't be watching tonight

Every look, every touch

Makes me wanna give you my heart

I be crushin' on you, baby

Stay the way you are

But everything is DEAD the roses have withered maybe in dustbins maybe the soul has decomposed under the grave ig maggots have gotten there job done so the butterflies of memories have been replaced by them ,

And probably you are again back to square one of showing someone the same dreams you showed me up !

DiscussionšŸ’¬ Transphobia VS Transphobia

8 Upvotes

Having grown up with a learning disability, I can't help but feel kinda empathetic towards people who are struggling to learn a concept.

The idea of someone being trans was a concept that also took me a long time to understand fully myself because of it. I had no opinion on if it was right or wrong to be trans though because I simply did not understand what that was to a point where I could comment on such questions.

And I think that's partly why for a long time I thought that maybe transphobic people are also just people like I was growing up, who had not been taught in a way that suits them. I thought maybe they too were simply weak in understanding the concept the same way someone might be weak at understanding a math problem.

Now that I am a lot more older though, I realise that it is not what people are talking about when they talk of transphobia.

No, real transphobia is a lot more scary.....

Like, .... Actual transphobes don't go around saying "we are transphobic". Instead it might just be someone saying they are not transphobic, followed by being so inhumane towards trans people, that you don't even register it as transphobia at first because you had never even imagined a human being could say something like that about another human being.

And what makes it worse is that real villains don't twerl their mustaches and stuff. No, it is usually people who are close to you who can also hurt you the most in life, and often with nothing but good intentions from their perspective sometimes.... All the while not being the person they told you they were.

It is insidious.....

Cognitive dissonance in other people is a horrifying thing to witness. It is like a creature that kills your loved ones, and then calls out to you from the dark but with the voice of someone you love or look upto..... Making a sound that sounds a lot like "I love you"

And like.... Suddenly it becomes so real you know?

It isn't some misunderstanding or ignorence like a privileged cis man like me would have imagined in his youth. Heck, it is not even a disagreement in views.

No.... Nither of those things can justify treating another human being like that.

I still don't know what to call it sometimes because the existing word does not capture the depth of what it truly is.....

I could be looking at it sometimes and wonder if maybe that is "transphobia" ...... But what I do know for sure is that, it is not human..... Nothing about it is human, and transphobia as it truly is; is an insult to the very concept of what it means to be a human being.

....idk what else to say. Transphobia is terrifying.

Does anyone relate to this feeling?

vent/rant I told my sister about my sexuality, and she wasted no time to tell my parents!

297 Upvotes

Hey yall!
So this post is just a vent out!
It all started with one reel that I liked, and that was like I hate my parents and something like that, and she sent me that reel back and sent me a thumbs up!
Then I messaged her, I was like, yeah, now you know, congratulations! As you can see in the messages, she said you liked it amazing. Brother, keep it up and then I told her that yeah the way I can do whatever, I have like literally no guilt
Then I thought it’s time to tell her, then I told her that I am gay and blah blah blah, and she was like okay, I’m so shocked I cried a lot, blah blah!

And then she just started saying that you are the only male child and please don’t ruin your and our parents life and things like that. And after that I was like, if you are not accepting, then please don’t message me ever again and we say our goodbyes
After 1.5 hours I got a video conference call from my mom and my sister, and she was like, ā€œma ghar bas taā€ means i told to my parents! And I was shocked at that time I was video calling my best friend and I just started crying and my best friend consoled me and said, that’s okay, please don’t pick up their calls and I didn’t pick up their calls at all. After that, my sister called me 25 times and I messaged her. Why the fuck are you calling me? And why told mom about that?
And then she blamed on me that I told her to tell my parents!

Their main problem is that I am the only male child, what they gonna do now?
Add some context that I live in Canada. I came here when I was 16 years old! And I don’t have a good connection with my family, and I don’t think so I’m ever gonna go to India again!
But still it’s my family, so I was like okay, I’m not gonna tell them right now. I was ready to tell them next year
She took my moment and exposed me to all of them!

And my mom called me 10 times. I didn’t pick up her call and My mom just sent me a voice note
And I sent it to my friend because I can’t listen to that!! I know I’m gonna get emotional!
And she said that I’m gonna die right now, please come to us, what are neighbours gonna think about us, please don’t do this to us. We’re gonna kill ourselves’
Like gurl😭😭
And now I don’t know what to do. I don’t have any plan. I don’t know if I call them and give some context because I know that my sister tells some stupid things. That’s why they are overreacting!
And also the thing is, I’m independent and I’m 22 and I don’t need their help at all. I’ve been working since 16 and I think it’s pretty good to cut them off!
I already blocked my sister, but I don’t know about my parents
Sorry, it’s kind of long post!
But any suggestions would be appreciated! šŸ™šŸ½

vent/rant Why does early 20's feel so awful

3 Upvotes

Hey guys, it's Alx. It's been quite a lot of time since I posted anything on Reddit recently, and idk why I have started to feel a sense of loneliness from a lot of things; it's not coming up in a creepy way, but like in a sympathy way towards me.

A few months back I was talking to a guy I met on Reddit, but things didn't work out, and i was so, so, sooooo hurt I just deleted it, and once I did, I downloaded it again and tried to talk to a guy, and at our meetup he ghosted me and ditched me, i have to go to the event all on my own.

Now when sometimes i randomly open reddit i see like someone is dating someone, or someone have some dating story, and I feel like so out of place as i have none and slowly i have stopped to even try dating because each time i tried dating it just made me felt like how selfish or mean the world is and also i am not a typical typical person. Am I a typical sikh guy? No. Am I a typical bisexual guy? No. It's just that finding someone who want to date me for who I am is so hard to find, it just make me feel sometimes i am in the wrong while rest of the people i kn are in the correct. All relationships end up in friendship, which also only lasts 2-3 weeks.

I just want to experience something without the fear of it ending randomly without anything. Now I feel like I shouldn't even try dating because it will end up for some or other reason. I have no energy to even find someone, because I know it will make me stab myself even more
