How do you guys deal with the stories of coming out later in life? I feel like I can find some similarities between me and them and it freaks me out because i don’t want to leave my boyfriend or have that happen
Scares me. Terrifies me. I experienced SOOCD years ago and was doing great, but then seeing a reel of someone coming out later and life retriggered me hard core and it’s been a struggle since. I have such a great boyfriend who I love dearly and do not want to leave him and also don’t want to ever hurt him.
One of those stories was my trigger so it was the most anxiety inducing fear and thought I’ve had. Especially when they’re like “I love this person so much, they are the most important person in my life” like bitch what😭. But I got through it like I did with everything else: exposing myself to it over and over. I went and found couples on social media that were either just gay or came out later in life.
It’s not my life story, so I don’t mind either way.
