That cold gut feeling I would get every time someone asked me "still no gf?" Main reason I don't call my family members that live far away, they all ask about me and I say hell no cause the 1st things that comes up is "How are the women?" also doesn't help that in my culture men as expected to have multiple girls at once... I also remember the dreaded match making my sister tried to do for me, asking me if this or that girl was cute so we could hook up...Hell. It's hard but I think we all

@SharinByakuGan I always HATED answering that question about my relationship status. And it was always one of the first things asked. It's like, why is that such a big deal?

I was glad that u brought up this topic. I'm closeted, still live with parents and it feels like I'm separating from them more & more everyday. We don't talk to each other about what's going on in my life & their lives anymore. My parents now become complete strangers to me. It's even worse when the holiday comes. Everybody in my entire family is talking to each other and having fun while I just sit in the corner trying to dodge those "who you're dating?" or "why don't u have a gf?" questions.

@huannguyen1991 I got so sick of answering those questions. I went through the exact same thing you're going through right now. Stay strong, my friend! You know where to find me if you need me! :-)

We struggle together...........

@NomadicJAG We certainly do. Thank you for watching. :-)

WHAT'S the point in coming out.....I mean all parents and family REALLY want to know is whether or not you take it up the ass or you give it. I'm GAY, but seriously....there's no reason to come out....do it with your friends, but keep it on the lowdown when at home. You would anyways....and who wants to be judged while at home...people judge you in all ways, and I agree with what you are saying, the perception isn't about being an entertainer...but ideally....people judge.../

This is what I feel like! Even though my parents know I'm gay, for some reason I still have trouble talking to them about relationships. It probably stems from this.

my insides are eating me up now.. :(

Thanks for every single word...

I'm the same age as you exactly and i have the same relationship with my parents. I love them dearly but I don't wanna turn their world upside down, and the subsequent dilemma is highly dissonant. PLUS i live in Egypt... :-(

I agree with the person below. I am used to being in the closet. It's the only life I've ever known. My personality is almost non-existent. Like in one of your previous videos, it is all fake made up bullshit so people won't think I am gay. I don't even know if I know myself anymore... I can't remember the last time I haven't had to think about something I am going to say, while just having a general chat to somebody. I avoid my family, use any excuse to get out of a situation where the family

For me I've gotten used to not coming out to my family but at the same time it's annoying to hear my mom ask if i have a girl friend or if i like any girls at school.

This video is amazing, and your channel too!

While I was listening to you I pass throught my experience, think about how difficult is to come out, event to one persone, and also how really it can release the tension you talked about! I have to make another step forward and come out to my parents... I want to do it, soon or later.

@SharinByakuGan indeed! I felt so good when I told someone for the first time, and I've been lucky so far I only got good reactions :) so it cheered me up alot and I'm much more confident and hopeful lately =)

[SharinByakuGan]

@BlendAlias Yeah it's always GREAT to have someone to talk to, I mean there's so much one can keep to oneself, feels so good to let it out to someone you can trust =D
