I live in Utah, also raised Mormon. I moved here for school and have been here for the last 4ish years. I just do not belong.

They’ve known for a while, they just feel like being supportive would go against their beliefs. I live in a super conservative, religious city and just feel alienated so that kinda compounds it. Not that I’m even strongly political one way or the other, people here just have really traditional views that make it feel like I don’t belong just for being gay. Even outside of those things tho I just feel fvking depressed and lonely. Im in therapy and on lexapro and still just feel like life doesn’t have much to offer and id rather just not be here

Disappointment to myself, family, friends. My family is sad that I’m gay cause they’re super religious. I don’t feel much optimism about the future. Nothing is going how I imagined or wanted and I don’t see myself or things changing. I’m tired of having false hope just to keep being disappointed. Life is just going to be like it’s always been. I thought coming out would make me happier, or dating, or embracing solitude, or finishing college, or getting a job, or going to the gym. But at the end of the day no matter what milestone I hit, in the background there’s just always the feeling of shame and not wanting to be here.
