Wht's is bizarre, because all my family and close friends know about my sexuality. At the same time, my co-workers and people i know don't know a thing. I wonder why i don't feel comfortable talking about this as openly as i do in home…WTF is wrong with me?</p>

<p dir="auto">my family and close friends know, but co-workers and some friends don't.</p>
<p dir="auto">I always hear remarks when they talk like "ohh I think he's gay", not about me someone else who I know actually is gay as one it's obvious and two I've seen some evidence, then they make a weird face or some other remark…while I'm there, it's awkward at times haha.</p>
<p dir="auto">Another time I was on holiday with a sort of friend and they said to me "Ewww look at those two gays". Of course I had already seen them as it was on a beach, these two guys with muscled tanned bodies wearing only white speedos were under the outdoor shower and kissing  <img src="https://community.gaytor.rent/assets/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji/emoji/apple/1f60a.png?v=57695cee877" class="not-responsive emoji emoji-apple emoji--blush" style="height:23px;width:auto;vertical-align:middle" title=":blush:" alt="😊" /> <img src="https://community.gaytor.rent/assets/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji/emoji/apple/1f60a.png?v=57695cee877" class="not-responsive emoji emoji-apple emoji--blush" style="height:23px;width:auto;vertical-align:middle" title=":blush:" alt="😊" /> <img src="https://community.gaytor.rent/assets/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji/emoji/apple/1f60a.png?v=57695cee877" class="not-responsive emoji emoji-apple emoji--blush" style="height:23px;width:auto;vertical-align:middle" title=":blush:" alt="😊" /> at that time I just said "eewww....yeah..." (but was secretly wanting to join HAHA)</p>
<p dir="auto">Shame I didn't have the courage to say something like "do you have something against gay people?" at times i still don't have that courage hence why I'm still half in the closet like you OP <img src="https://community.gaytor.rent/assets/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji/emoji/apple/1f615.png?v=57695cee877" class="not-responsive emoji emoji-apple emoji--confused" style="height:23px;width:auto;vertical-align:middle" title=":\" alt="😕" /></p>
<p dir="auto">Hopefully it will get easier for us  :hug:</p>

Society makes it a weird issue, it's a miracle if any of us don't feel uncomfortable about it at some point. There's no rush, the people close to you know and that's great, why tell strangers and fairweather friends? Just live your life and don't worry whether you're doing the right thing for other people or not.</p>
