So I've always known that I wasn't straight from a very young age but only withing the past year did i finally publicly come out of the closet. With this being said, I started to be who I wanted to be. I wanted to embrace what I liked and took control of my interests, personality, and style. Ive always liked to wear long flowers things and paint my nails and wear makeup and such. I love wearing all sorts of different things and I like feeling like a confident person and letting my personality shine through me. I try to let myself radiate regardless if im conforming to gender norms or not and if someone wants to know about what i am or identity as then I will gladly tell them. But since I've come out and started to become the person I wanted to be it feels like my presence inconveniences people. I dont kick through doors with a flock of doves flying after me demanding attention but I know i look different. But, it doesn't really affect anybody else's life other than my own. The amount of slurs and comments and stares that I get every week gets so annoying. Its especially hurtful when it comes from friends and family and I sometimes feel like if I went back into the closet and became conservative with my personality, people would just be happier. I dont even know if this post fits for the sub but I guess I just wanted some advice on maybe what I can do to alleviate the stress from it all or if anyone has similar experiences that want to share.
