Re: advice for socially awkward people still in the closet

[sarillia]

I can relate. I didn't have a very good experience at my school's Pride Alliance either. It wasn't really bad, it's just that they didn't go out of their way to make me or any other new people feel welcome. I had a much better experience at the churchy stuff I went to, which was all perfect except for the fact that they all thought homosexuality is a sin (I didn't tell them where else I was spending my time).

My plan for the pride club was to keep showing up and looking for opportunities to start talking to people and see if there was anyone who shared my interests, but I ending up leaving the school just a few weeks after I worked up the nerve to start going. I'd suggest going at least one more time to see if some people might be friendlier the next time; there may have been some people who are better at greeting newbies who weren't there last time. Or maybe you'll get to know the guy you said was friendly better and that will work out. But if you go a few times and it doesn't seem like you're clicking with the people there and you're not interested in what they're talking about then there are probably better ways for you to be spending your time.

I wish there were more options for what you're looking for. I really wanted that too. I eventually made some friends through my girlfriend who helped, plus obviously my girlfriend could relate. I hope you find some people you can be comfortable with too.

hi there, thank you for the reply! sorry this is so late!

wow are you me?

because i actually have a church small group i go to once a week, and i have to say i bond better with them. (and yes, apart from the whole "being gay is a sin" thing. no idea how they'd react!)

i think you're right. i'll go once more, since it would be silly to dismiss it based on just one meeting. and if i don't really feel welcome there, i guess i'll look elsewhere.

how did you meet your current girlfriend? are there other sorts of social events and things that are held? (not particularly seeking romance right now, more just... people i can relate to.)

thank you very much for your advice. :)

I actually met her on OKCupid. I had very good luck on there. Not only did I meet her but I started talking to some other people who are now friends of mine. It sounds like it might work for you too. My experience of the girl/girl side of that site was that it's very much "let's just see if we like talking to each other and if something grows from there, cool, but friends are cool too".
