I'm not a werewolf, or gay, but it's the full moon so ... I'm coming out anyway
The worst part about coming out, it seems, is the imposter syndrome going into immediate overdrive and the sudden feeling that you need to "perform" to live up to everyone's expectations of you (or rather your own expectations of what their expectations are).
But the thing is, I'm still just me, just ... a little more open about who I am. Or trying. I haven't changed, and even if I'm always growing and developing as a person, it doesn't and won't happen overnight.
@stveje congratulations on coming out! I know that feeling of having to perform, to justify it somehow to the world. But just as you say, you're just you! The labels can stretch to fit you, not vice versa.
@Tattie Thank you
@stveje I know this imposter bitch too well... Congratullations on your coming out!
