I feel like teenagers of today (Indians as well) are way more open on this aspect. That being said, majority of us do feel scared of the consequences and mistakes if they’d happen. I think a lot of this goes back to us learning my reading/watching instead of experiencing.
I want to say a lot of from my own personal experience, but perhaps some other time in future. Thanks for expressing thoughts candidly. I’m glad you learned from experience!
I feel like getting to know more people like you. :-)
