im a closeted teenage trans boy and i need help. ive reached the stage of being closeted where i feel suffocated, but the issue is, i dont know what to do about it.
i 100% cant come out to my family because i know they wont be supportive
i have 2 close friends, i am out to one of them but im not ready to tell the other just yet. i dont want to burden the first friend with venting and theres not much they can do about the pain anyways. they also take 100 years to reply to me
i dont know if i can go out and befriend trans ppl, i dont know any trans ppl irl and if i do somehow find like an lgbtq club or smth, i doubt my parents will allow me to go out for a few hours for an unspecified purpose (me (who my parents think is cishet) going to an lgbtq club would raise questions). im also really awkward when talking to people irl.
ive had bad experience with having online friends so i cant confide in making friends with other trans people online.
the only other thing i can think of is school counsellor but 1. im on school break rn and 2. the first case of me seeing complete outright transphobia (like not the joking transphobic comment here and there, like a full serious tangent) was in class from a staff of the school so im not really comfortable letting a person from the school know im trans and 3. im scared the counsellor will tell my parents.
my friends say the counsellor is nice and wont tell ur parents things but im still scared..
the only coping mechanism i have right now is listening to mcr and dressing masculinely. if anyone knows how to ease the pain or find ppl to talk to pls let me know
