Well I managed to deny it until I was 48 if that helps
I "knew I liked boys" but I "Wasn't gay".

Congrats, dickle, you made it out of the closet a little sooner than I did. I started coming out a few weeks ago, and I'm just a few years older.
That :censored: closet was too confining after a while, and way too lonely.
I'm still getting comfortable with the new me and still have a lot of coming out to do. But I already like this me a lot better than the old me.
I am grateful for the friends who've shown themselves to be truer friends than I could have imagined, by supporting me.
Not all my friends or family will accept this, when I tell them. I will miss having them in my life, and I'm sorry for them, that they won't accept the real me, or people like me.
BUT -- I will have my whole life ahead of me.
I am so impressed by the courage shown by out teens. I am also impressed by their family and friends who support them. What a great gift.

Your not the only one, it was a little over 2 years
ago for me to accept it. What a relief of stress
not fighting with yourself any longer. Biggest hurdle
after that is telling anyone about yourself.

I've only dared come out to myself since early retirement and now I'm only out to this website. I certainly could not come out to my social circle, especially after the odd remarks I hear. I came out through my stories and feel more at ease with myself. I'm not sure this is an encouraging post unfortunately. Good luck to you, dickle.

Being true to yourself for a year after denying it for 20 is cause for celebration, not calling oneself useless. Welcome home, buddy.
cheers!
