<human>: Can you give me the gist of the text in a nutshell?

I'm in my late 20s and for most of my life I've been single. I only dated 1 girl for a few weeks in high school and had no other dates, relationships or even casual hookups since. I also have had little to no friends outside of work acquaintances for many years. The reasoning for this comes from issues with depression, anxiety, self esteem and obesity that I've been working hard on fixing over the past couple years including an significant weight loss and seeing a therapist.

I went on some dates over the summer for the first time but nothing came out of it until now. I've been with my gf for a little over 2 months and we recently agreed to be exclusive but I haven't told my parents at all that I'm seeing someone.

I feel nervous about bringing it up because I really don't want them to make a big deal about it. I'm generally a very private person about my personal life because the idea of people talking about my life makes me very uncomfortable. My mom also has a tendency to be a little too revealing about private details of mine and my sisters lives when talking to people on the phone which sometimes makes me reluctant to share things.

That said, my sister is aware of my relationship and has been wanting me to tell them because they've had conversations with her where they tell her that they're afraid I'm lonely and she's been nice enough to respect my privacy by not revealing my situation to them. Still, I don't want to keep hiding it or expect my sister to lie for me because I'm uncomfortable.

This should be a simple thing for most people, but I'm extremely anxious about bringing it up. I think my fear is them acting too excited about it and either telling a bunch of people or asking me too many questions. Both of which make me feel uncomfortable because it just highlights my feelings that I was abnormal before. I just want it to be treated as normal, even though for me it isn't.
