At what point does staying true to yourself push the limit of being worth the risk?
When it would make people see you so differently that you could turn into a victim, is it still worth it?
If you risk losing everything because the wrong people don't understand, is it still worth it?

Staying true to your convictions and beliefs is more important than what other people think of you.
If you hide what you really think, then you really have lost everything that is important to you.

But when what other people think of you has the power to affect your life and livelihood, does that still hold true? Should some things not be kept secret for the sake of your own well-being?

You shouldn't let other people hold that power over you. Period. It's demeaning to oneself to allow others to control what you think and say and feel.
What do you mean?

Ah, for instance, I've heard stories of people in Rune-Midgard being attacked or murdered for being homosexual. Something along the lines of that.

It comes down to what you think is more important, your convictions or your life.

What if you don't know?

Then you would have to think about it.
It is a decision that you alone have to make.

That does appear to be the only real answer.
I wish life were not so terribly confusing.

It's only confusing if you allow it to be.
Life is actually frighteningly simple. People are the ones that make it confusing and complex.

I suppose people are the ones complicating this for me in the first place.

Then eliminate them from the equation, they're doing nothing more than making things difficult for you.

I suppose so.
It's easy to say that, but not quite so easy in practice.

I know you're a stronger person than you let on.
I have faith in you.
