I have recently let one friend know, and she is still kind of digesting the information, though I know we will still be friends. I have also been someone, who while I love spending time with friends, don't need to be around people all the time. In fact, I love my alone time!

TW, I can see where you are coming from though. It is hard to keep up a front, but I guess that is what most of us has to do. I could never let anyone at work or in my family know. It has been so wonderful though, to be able to be myself here. I am learning so much about myself and my feelings, which is crossing over to being happy in other parts of my life too.

I guess what I have noticed though, is that I have to be careful not to say everything that is on my mind, like I can here. That does take some getting used to!
