To begin with I am gay....and christian. That is not an easy combination to have. I am not ashamed to be a christian, but it is hard to be both...at least in this generation and society. I have come across many people who I have found to be very nice, I could easily be very good friends with (positive, good people, both christians and non-Christians) I am naturally very outspoken and friendly and so it is very easy for me to make connection with all kinds of people. Problem is I guard myself from becoming friends with people because I am unsure of how they will react if they ever find out that I am gay. Consequently I have build this thick wall around me, and while people see me smile, Joke and laugh, inwardly it is a different story: I am a very lonely, insecure person. I have to tread carefully and cover my tracks, so no one ever discovers this part of me. I have no close friends, infact I hate it when I am off work because all interaction I have is the internet...Not very good. Any advise is welcome.(Please no mean responses or sarcasm...that is the last thing I need!)
