Though the lgbtq+ community in India is growing rapidly, navigating dating is still pretty tough here. Like most of the people from my community I was filled with anxiety and always felt out of place. Even after I came out to the world, everyone around me was super supportive but still something fell off. I realized it wasn't so much about the people around anymore as it was about my internalized fears. When I came across Mingout's counseling sessions, I thought of trying one. I was desperate to work on myself and get better. And exactly that happened. Even though I'm not dating someone currently, I'm confident about who I am and what kind of a partner I want.
