im in a place that doesnt support lgptq or atheism etc and it really sucks to hide that im an atheist from everyone fyi confessing is enough to make me lose all of my friends and get kicked out of the house :(
Promise you have people around you who care! Some people might not be local, but people do care.
I definitely understand the struggle, however. I grew up in a really strict household where being LGBTQIA+ was entirely against everything my family stood for. I promise you're not alone <3

@𝐒𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐫 thanks thats sweet of u :) im sure there are people who will get me online after all
I get that man, it really does suck. My advice would be to go out and find friends who would actually care about you even after showing your identity. I don't mean to steal the spotlight, but my family, super Mormon and right wing, doesn't support LGBTQ and yeah it sucks to hide it from them. But I have found lots of friends now who actually care about me and my identity, AND respect my beliefs.
You just gotta find the right people. And if you can't just know you have people all around the world waiting to meet someone like you :)

Yes, it truly sucks to hide one's true self. So much of this world demands conformity with older cultural mores while hypocritically cheering progressivism, diversity and uniqueness. It's maddening as hell, and I understand your feelings. It sounds like your area is highly regressive. Have you reached out to any online support groups? Even if you need to use an alias for your own sense of security while talking to them, see if any could offer you some advice or the ear of a kindred spirit.

It especially sucks because you're too young to be out on your own yet.
If you can, bear down on your studies. Learn EVERY damn thing you can, save EVERY damn bit of money you can, take EVERY opportunity you can.
Someday soon, you'll be able to get yourself out and away and your life will be yours. Focus your energy into working to make that happen as quickly and safely as you can.
Exist DEFIANTLY if you must!
I feel you cause I grew up in a strict household where I can’t really be myself and supporting Lgtbq and engaging in worldly things would make me seem weird and sinful to the people around me but since I’m 17 about to be 18 I have to make my own decisions and start taking things into my own hands but i understand where your coming from your not alone friend.
