My parents raised me under Catholic faith and this homosexuality is viewed with contempt. I personally am afflicted with whether or not these feelings are right.

The girl I like is a wonderful being. No she's not the kindest soul ever, but she's funny and makes me genuinely happy. She makes my bipolar and ADD seem like little parts of me that don't matter without even knowing she does that. Whenever she comes by me I feel overcome with emotions. A lot of butterflies and stuff. She's kinda slow when it comes to these things so she doesn't know that I like her.

I've talked to my therapist about it and he always brings up the question of why this is so wrong.. I don't even know why it is. I've come close to telling her on two occasions but I always chicken out...

Ugh I guess what I'm looking for is some advice from you all. How should I deal with this? Can I do something to make this seem less troublesome to me? Have you had a similar experience? If so, could you please share it?

Thanks so much to everyone for your time and please have a wonderful day!

Hi sweetie,

I have never gone through this, but I'd like to give you my full support!

Go and be happy with whoever you love, as long as this person is not harmful to you, of course

I've watched very closely how hard it was for my stepsister to come out and assume herself as a lesbian to her family. Even her dad (my stepdad) who is quite a liberal guy had some trouble accepting it.
She had a very hard time with her mom who would not accept at all her daughter's choice. It was hard in the beginning, but 5 years later I can tell you she's much happier than before.

She does not need to hide herself from anyone. And that's so empowering.

It may hurt your family, but honestly: it's your life, and you deserve to be happy just like anyone else.

You will find the strength to stand up for yourself, I know that
Thanks for this!
