Thank you for the advice, it has helped! (It's still me btw, I just posted anonymously above)

I think I will agree with you on the labelling, it's so confusing at the moment plus, I think I need to think about it a bit more.

Unfortunately I live in a town where there aren't many support groups, and I'm in Central Europe so things are probably a bit different than in the US. I'm expecting there to be a lgbtq+ group at the school when I start in September. I probably will join, even though my parents might be a bit nosy and start interrogating me about that.

I don't have many safe or close people to talk to :| even if they're people I trust up to a certain extent, I seriously do not trust them to not out me to my family. Literally know one knows about anything I've done, no-one knows I've been questioning, anxious, or mildly SHed before I like venting into my journal, which helps a bit..

I'm going to try gauging their reaction slightly more often now, just to get a sense of what their world is like.
