Title: Belated introduction

Hey all,
I was too lazy/anxious to post an introduction here when I first joined, and even though it's been months of lurking and a few posts, I figured I would now.
I'm not out as anything, except as "confused" with my girlfriend and a few others. I'm terrified of labels at the moment. But for the sake of an introduction, I lean heavily towards "male" in terms of identity and feel most natural with a masculine expression. My reasons to prefer ambiguity and perhaps suppression are tied somewhat into a fear of general rejection, but mostly I'm avoiding candid introspection and subscription to identity terms because it could complicate my relationship with my girlfriend (8 months on Sunday!). Though, I am genuinely trying to figure things out, going to therapy, talking to people, and thinking. Just got a lot of walls up in my head.
Preacher dad, bigoted friends back home and none at my university, Kinsey 6 but supportive and loving girlfriend. Oh, complications.
Looking for community, information, and perspective. I love this place :)

Hi Mikah, :icon_wave:
Welcome to our little family. Over 6700 strong. That would be one heck of a family reunion.
Feel free to post your successes/failures, Hopes/dreams. Ask questions and seek answers. Give and receive advice.
But remember we are family here, your family now. And it is always nice to have another brother. :icon_hug:
And be sure to check out these links ( MUST READS )
Hugs and Love,
Janet

Hi Mikah! :icon_wave:
Welcome here. I am pretty sure that you will find what you are looking for right here.
You never have to fear rejection here. as to the walls in your head, give it time. It will get broken down in time. No need to rush at all. Do everything at your own pace. Best of luck.
