he/him “I think I've been in denial a little bit, too. There’s some stuff in my past that I haven’t dealt with.”
Ryan is a very kind person - sometimes to his detriment. He would rather bottle up his feelings and hope they pass than talk about them with others. Ryan compartmentalizes things that bother him; this sometimes backfires and in some cases it interferes with his relationships. Whenever things get tough, he is quick to try to think of a solution that will make everyone else feel happy and safe.
