Psychological Dynamics of Coming Out among Homosexual Individuals

Abstract

The aim of this research is to determine the psychological dynamics that arise in homosexual actors. In this research, case study methodology was combined with qualitative methods. This research involved three gay individuals who declared themselves homosexual. Semi-structured in-depth interviews were the main method of data collection, with field observations as additional data. The findings showed that the three participants felt satisfied after being gay. In the past, these people believed that their depression stemmed from fear of revealing their sexual identity. This is shown by a closed attitude towards other people, a hostile atmosphere, and unkind thoughts towards other people
