Do you have straight friends?
I am kind of afraid if I am doomed to not have straight friends every again. I came out in my late 20’s. I am a very femme presenting woman, so people don’t really think ‘I look gay’.
The thing is I have always been shy about talking about my sexuality. Scared to share it.
I am in a lot of new different environment : new work, new city with new friends, charity work etc.
I feel so scared that I can never have straight friends and that I Will always be an outcast?
I am a good friend, very kind and have a big heart. But don’t really know if that is enough if straight woman will label me as non worthy of friendship.
Maybe I am overthinking and making issues for myself.
I live in a general progressive country and in the Capital.
I have got 3 friends who are lesbians, But most people I know seem straight..
