Yea so today I visited my sister and her two kids. For the majority of the time I tried to occupy myself with helping my nephew with his project. Pretty much I talked to my sister for like 5 minutes and it was pretty much about her iPhone 4s. After that I was silent or either trying to make conversation with my niece and nephew through the whole time I was there. I felt a lot of depression from thoughts that came to my mind. I've been wanting to tell her that I was gay with social anxiety and my performance has been dropping like mad since last year...just got the official letter from OSAP for 1 year suspension. The whole thing also makes me think of how to do the same with my dad and aunt...effin hell I can't take it anymore.... Its worse with my dad and aunt cause they speak vietnamese and can't speak/understand english, whereas I can only speak english fluently and can barely converse with them. I always give them one word answers cause I don't know anymore...I've been trying to find information on both topics in vietnamese, but I cant seem to find anything......fml

Hi shinghan, and welcome to SPW.

I wish I could give you advice about "telling the parents". I wish I could tell you that they'll love you whatever you tell them, but I know that is not always true. I do know that being closeted about anything is soul crushing, a denial of self.

I hope that you'll find some relief spending time here with people you can tell, who do understand.
 
You know you are gay,that is enough.
You are not in effect denying who you are,it's family who are doing that.
You would not have to proclaim your heterosexuality would you?
Take a lover,let your family go through all the accepted moves.
Just live as though you were straight,not like a catholic.
