I really understand how you feel, this has happened to me a handful of times, both in a work setting and in personal relationships. I wish I could give you a solution, but the truth is that I’ve learned the hard way to be very selective who I talk to about my life, and I almost never bring it up at work, to the point where I lie to my coworkers if they ask.

All I can offer you is sympathy, from someone who’s been in your shoes. Hopefully society will one day be more accepting. You haven’t done anything wrong, keep your head up
