Start anonymous if you feel uncomfortable discussing your sexuality.
Look for online groups to join, such as The Tribe.
Make some new friends, and by doing so, you will establish a new network of supportive and encouraging people around you.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker Expert Interview. X Expert Source Deb Schneider, LCSW, PPSC Talking to someone during this difficult time will be incredibly helpful and ground you in realizing millions of others are going through the same thing.

There are many, many gay people in all sorts of communities, and there are many people there for you when you need support.

If you feel that you indeed made a choice, you should feel comfortable with that choice.
Some people in the world believe that sexual orientation is a choice.
Neither is there anything wrong with you for being gay.
There isn't any need to change yourself - being gay is just another way of simply existing, and there is nothing wrong with it at all.
It is something that is simply a part of your being, and not something you can change. Try to encourage others to see your sexual orientation in the same way as they see your eye color - it is something you were born with and did not choose. When talking with heterosexual friends or family members, it's sometimes tough to help them understand this, because they have no frame of reference for your experience. Attempts to change your orientation are usually painful and pointless in the end. Remember that you didn't choose to be attracted to members of the same sex.
