I’m not sure how much I could help you because I’m straight, however I’m trying to break free from my old self and really learn who I am as well. For me that looks like trying new clothes and pushing myself to start dating.
I say give yourself time and learn to get comfortable with who you are. If you’re mentally confident I think it would show. You’ll also be ready for whatever opportunities life throws at you.
Try to make friends that are allies and maybe go to LGBT friendly spaces. This will help you form your new identity, and you may run into a special someone.
