Were you out at work or with your family first? Would also love to hear if it was your gender or your sexuality (or both) too.

I knew my sexuality as a tween and was out to everyone but my mom into my late teens.

Gender has been a harder time for even me to wrap my head around since I'm realizing there were a lot of signs I ignored when I was younger. Out at work, not with family.

Work before family and just sexuality. At one job I was only out to the lgbtq group and not even my team.

Both but my work is understanding whereas my family is challenging...(only sexuality)

I was in high school, but my boss found out before my family did (my friend at school was his kid)

Never enjoyed going to work more than that time in my life. To have the support of someone you look up to, someone you consider a leader, someone “above” you, all when your family is struggling to behave about it, was a godsent gift. Loved that job because of him and his support

Sexuality to be clear. But every case is different obv. Luckily, advertising is a relatively liberal, open minded work space

uplifting

My GF and I are dating for 2.5 yrs , She met an office colleague (he has a GF) recently who she initiated a friendship with. I feel that they interact a lot and I'm a little worried of her getting too close to him. A day ago she asked him for lunch and they were out for almost 4-5 hrs. When I expressed how I felt she keeps saying there's nothing going on. I feel that when start to get emotionally close to some other guy than SO then it's not a good sign in relationship. Am I overthinking? contd.

My natural instinct is to assume rejection if I have conflict with a partner or don’t think my feelings are reciprocated. I’ll try to bring it up with them, but I’ll say “if you want to end this feel free” so it doesn’t hurt me (and they can say what they really mean instead of sugarcoating). Someone told me today that they just assume I’m not interested because I always seem to “run” but I’m not sure how to bring up problems/feelings otherwise. How do you approach these hard questions?
