        That’s a significant achievement, being comfortable with who you are. But you were in the dark for several decades ??

          Sure, dismissal and outright denial can put you in dark places, alcoholism for a lot of years, other drugs, just doing nothing. In the dark metaphorically speaking.

              I have no idea how you gleaned that from what I said. I was talking about my personal experiences and not talking about anything else.

                  Oh sorry, no, I don’t think it’s necessary to do anything in particular, just being a decent person is enough. I always felt like I needed to do something or something was undone when I was confused about my identity, so I thought maybe it could be the same for others.

                    I’m not confused about my identity. Just can’t figure out how to channel out my purpose. You may call it a blockage in the path of self expression.
