I honestly feel like a walking contradiction. Some time back, i came to finally accept that im gay, at least for myself no one else knows. But, it has caused me to feel even more isolated than ever. It does not help that Im also in med school, which makes me even more scared as People here are quite homophobic. FYI, im from a south east asian country. I know some might say to leave med school but its what i really want to do. I also am aware of How medicine has a long way to go in terms of being more inclusive. the part of me that is in the medical world is just as important as the part of me that is gay and would struggle to find my place anywhere really. How do i come to terms with this and navigate my way through it?

Ngl sometimes a person is just them like ur u and nobody else ur unique there ain’t none like u and I think these people when they feel like even a little confused about them selves they think they can be titled just bcz society has given something a name and in my opinion u might disagree but I think u just think ur gay bcz men must have been nice to u and u must’ve not have like have a good interaction with women therefore ur brain says bcz everybody says u like guys ur gay i think its the other persons kindness that attracts u and u just wanna be like them lowkey i know its confusing but when ur mind is straightly aligned with ur heart u know best what u like admire and its amazing to me ur becoming a doctor or are even in med school i am so impressed lien its so tough I can’t even imagine how y’all even survive there i am in awe really so next time u think ur gay think again ur not ur just a kind and hard working human being Goodluck in med school and I suggest u to be kind so other people will think they r gay bcz they will love u tbh I am against people that r born with no problem in their hormones or idk how jit works but then they say they r gay u can be gay ur born a man and women like if u were meant to be gay u would’ve been born that way but u aren’t then why would u associate ur self with that btw sorry if u think i am stupid or idc about other peoples choices but personally I have given everything a chance and I research and look into everything and then I make a decision so that’s just my opinion on this matter I hope u find good people to be friends bubyee Goodluck cya
