My parents have been giving a lot of mixed signals so indon't know if I can come out or not.

On one hand they don't talk shit and don't get pissy about pride flags and stuff and actually seem supportive. On the other they are extremely religious. To the point where they get pissed when I don't want to go to church. Wish I had a clear answer. Extended family is even worse. Everyone is extremely

I don't even know why I bother. Everything has been crashing down recently. My family is probably unaccepting. I'm pretty sure my boyfriend left me. Don't know why I keep going. I'm just sick and tired

People can let you down sometimes. But don't see it as a reflection of you or your own self-worth. There are other men (and women, enbies etc) that you can be friends and more, just need to be yourself is all.

I'm just confused. I don't know if he still gives a shit about me or what is going on. I don't have any answers. All I know is him leaving like that really messed me up

Yeah breakups are hard and seem very hopeless. It might seem like there's no one like him and you can't live without him but eventually you'll learn to do just that. The timescale varies from person to person.

For example my best friend for more than 15 years ghosted me after i told her that i have developed a crush for her even tho i didn't expect her to like me back that way because she's straight. Even tho ghosting is terrible it took me half a year to be able to confidently say i wouldn't accept her friendship back.

Sorry for that story but what i wanted to say is things will mellow out for you even though they are very turbulent right now.
