i've been feeling really down lately. it’s hard watching everyone around me fall in love, have these cute moments, and just… be. i want that so badly. i want to hold someone’s hand in public, go on dates without looking over my shoulder, or simply talk about a crush without feeling like i’m betraying some part of myself...😞
but being closeted means i can’t do any of that. it’s like i’m stuck in this invisible cage?? 😭 everyone else is living out their love stories while i’m just here, waiting, wondering if i’ll ever have that chance. i wish i could explore love freely, feel what it’s like to really connect with someone without the fear of getting caught.
it’s just tough feeling like i have to hide something that’s supposed to be beautiful, you know? sometimes it feels like the world is moving forward, and i’m still here, watching…

Hey everyone,
I’ve been struggling a lot lately with accepting my trans identity. I feel torn between being true to myself and the cultural expectations my family has. It feels like there’s so much pressure to be “normal,” especially in the South Asian community where traditions and family honor matter a lot. I know deep down who I am, but the fear of rejection is really holding me back. Has anyone else gone through this? How did you find peace with your identity😣
hey, i hear you. it’s so tough navigating this balance between your identity and family expectations, especially in the south asian community where culture and tradition can feel so intertwined with who we are. it’s okay to feel scared and torn—so many of us have been right where you are.
what’s helped me is taking small steps towards being true to myself while also finding spaces where i felt safe to be fully me, whether that was online communities or even just a trusted friend. sometimes, starting with a small circle of people who accept you can build up the confidence to handle the bigger conversations.
it’s okay to go at your own pace—there’s no “right” way to do this. you deserve to be loved and respected for who you are, both as part of your culture and as your authentic self. sending you so much love and strength—you’re not alone in this, and you’ll find your peace when you’re ready.
CUTEEEE ty for sharing
