    Individual freedom vs duty to ppl who love you is something I'm thinking abt a lot at the moment. Where is the line?

        I feel sad when I see ppl never coming out as gay/lesbian or pretending to be religious for fear of hurting/worrying loved ones.

        But how do you argue with "my mother will be devastated & terrified that I'm going to hell. Easier just to keep my mouth shut."

        Of course it's up to the individual, but you can't pretend to be something you're not just to spare a loved one's feelings.

        I think so too but I worry my individualism verges on selfishness.

        Maybe duty you people you love is a choice you make, rather than something someone has forced on you.

        Both are choice. I'm wondering when it becomes selfish to go for the first option.
