They didn't believe me

Congrats to you OP. Some of my straight bros still didn’t believe me after I came out for up to a year.

This, bizarrely, sounds like humblebrag. And yet also highly doubtful.

OP here. I didn't mean as a humblebrag. I was astonished. I thought surely at least one (or all) wondered why I have never had a girlfriend. I grew up with them. A couple were major homophones in our youth. I was always terrified of being outted.

R1. I'm sure they knew by your speech patterns. Just stop.

How old are you OP?

How can you be close to your friends and they don't know?

Did you present hole to convince them?

They were just trying to boost your sense of (non-existent ) masculinity. Your pinging sets cell towers aflame.

What are they, headless???

Were they guys or guise?

No, they didn't believe you were black and not in your 60s. Because you aren't.

They had no trouble believing you were a big gay drama queen junkie.

I came out and for what. It turns about it hardly attracted to anything. “Hello, world 99% of you turn me off. Where’s my flag now?”

Turns out I'm* note the angst

Oh, God, I don’t have anything but blue jeans to wear on ‘Coming Out Day’. I have no choice now but to play hooky. It’s not like I can show up to class BOTTOMLESS!

You’ve been hiding the mineral water, huh?

OP, so either you've been lying to your closest friends for years, they've been lying to you pretending they don't know, or both. It's like an Oscar Wilde play.

Then was it a smart decision? Should have cleaned your closet first

Well, OP, I'm glad you don't have to hide who you are, now. I've had friends and relatives who are still hiding it. I feel very bad that they feel like they have to. My BIL, is 85 retired from the Marines and hid it whole life and still is. I can't imagine having to marry someone you care about, but were never in love with just to satisfy other people's expectations. I can't even imagine.

You were just confirming what we already knew for years.

Are you a hot looking bro type, R18. These are always gay or on the down low.

^I meant OP

You’re so effeminate that they assumed you were trans and never entertained the idea you might be a gay make.

How old are you OP?

2/10

I did the same thing op only I told them I am straight. They didn’t believe me either

If you had any gay friends they would have known instantly.

What age are you OP?

I have a friend, he’s actually the ex of one of my best friends. Apart from the two of us (my close friend and me), he is not out to anyone in his life.

He has his own group of friends he’s been hanging out with since college (he’s now around 30) and allegedly they have no clue he’s gay. He’s content to keep that secret for the rest of his life. I don’t get it at all.

OP again. I am 50. The only "hgeterosexual" friend that said he knew I was hiding then outted himself to me 30 seconds after I told him. I had no idea that he wasn't straight.

You're 50! What a coward R28. You're pathetic.

Also - you sound like a teacake sock account. It's so boring.

R29- What the hell is a “teacake sock” account?

Sure, Jan/R30.

It could be said that by age 50 a particular type of person - generally those who have something to hide - has wizened their group of closest associates down to a select few who are never challenge or pushback. They have unconsciously created this bubble to protect themselves from being unmasked.

Regardless of whether this applies to you or not OP, you have very polite friends.

Does OP really have any friends if he has lied to everyone about who he is all of his life right up to the age of 50 R32?

OP has people in his life who don't care about him. i.e. no friends.

Is OP Diddy.

OP is teacake R34.

We knew.

Of course it's Teafake. He immediately answered himself as R1. That's a tell tale sign...

Did you show them the contents of your night stand?

dumb thread created by the village idiot at DL

R10.

No, 0/10.

OP, are these the same friends who don't believe the Earth is round and that dinosaurs never existed?

Teafake loves replying to herself.

[quote]They didn't believe me

And we are unanimous in that!

This happened several times when I was younger, and I foolishly took it as a compliment. Of course, as I got older, I realized it had way more to do with THEIR hang-ups and prejudices than MY awesomeness.

Maybe it's not true, OP... maybe you are now a closeted straight?
