Re: advice for socially awkward people still in the closet

I would maybe see if the queer space/lgbt group has any meetings or events coming up, and go to those instead of randomly dropping in. There would likely be more people there, and that sort of atmosphere tends to encourage more discussion with people that aren't just the same friend group.

Also, depending on the area you're in, there might be some lgbt meetup groups or a municipal lgbt group that's more accommodating of shy people trying to get involved.

Alternatively, you can try to sound out your friends/acquaintances to see if any of them would be cool about your sexuality. Things like commenting about whichever states legalized gay marriage or "this article I randomly saw on the internet about bisexuality" or whatever. Who knows, maybe some of them are in the same situation! (Of course, only do that if you think it'd be safe. I'm absolutely not suggesting coming out to anyone if you're not comfortable with it.)

If that still doesn't work out, maybe you could make a tumblr/twitter/livejournal (I don't know where the cool kids hang out these days) and join some online lgbt communities? That would at least give you somewhere to talk to people who get that part of you, and you could stay anonymous enough to not worry about family/friends figuring you out.

Good luck!
