Where do you come from? Maybe you can start first by asking for help from your best friend

I myself live in a rather homophobic country/ society where lgbt people are ridiculed and marginalised. This is why I intend to move to a more welcoming country like Canada in the near future. I would advise you to be patient, go for higher studies and emigrate.

I'm really sorry to hear that. Maybe we can offer advice if we knew more about life for LGBTQ individuals in your country. Stay strong, man.

Is it really hard or do you believe that it is so?

the internet can be a great tool. try looking for help on a website which caters to helping those in difficult situations. if your country is dangerous for you to live in, maybe you can find sanctuary in a nearby, more welcoming country?

Being Gay is hard in any society, but things are getting better, I come from a homophobic country too and I moved to the UK and I am much happier now.
Just do as I did. Stay cool, pacient, honest to yourself but play the game in your country for your safety.
When you grow stronger, you can use your voice to help your society and others like you, but play the game for now, be safe and then think of the bigger picture.
You will make it. Good luck

where are you , if you're worried about naming your nation you could say something like MENA , which is basically the new term for the Middle East and Near Asia meaning Arab Nations and Turkey.
Secondly being a part of any society ,or clique is going to be hard , too fat too thin , too black white Asian or not enough is always going to be an obstacle of some sort, and whilst I admire the it gets better approach , as a mental health professional , it can be a phrase that's not always psychologically safe for your mental well being and is intrinsically western-centric , it doesn't take into account other cultural norms its easy to say it gets better in an environment like San Francisco , London Melbourne or Sydney but it really isn't something that helps in places like Oman or Dubai for example. I don't know you so i cant help you help yourself , all i can really say is be yourself , be safe and make intelligent decisions , if you need to be on guard ,especially if you're in a nation that is violent against non heterosexual people then act accordingly, and ,if you get a chance to change your surroundings to a more suitable and slightly safer environment then do so.
