Do they really know you?

It can be. Hey they're still your friends, and one day you'll feel comfortable enough to open up to them about who you are. When you do, the ones worth keeping will stick around and support you ^.^

 

Oh I see. I'm sorry to hear that

 

You're welcome. ^.^

 

Why's that?

 

In my case only a few people know I am Bi and Gender-Fluid.
Today at college some people where having a conversation about being transgendered, and I wanted to add my thoughts about being gender-fluid but since I am not out of the closet I got scared and stayed quite. So I suppose it can hamper your relationships to not open up, I probably could have made two new friends if I would have just spoke to them.

 

If they treat you like a sister, you're family to them. Maybe they don't know everything, but they know you're a wonderful person and more than that you're a sister to them. That's good, and maybe someday the stage will be set to where you can trust them with everything. Until then just know that whatever part of you they've been able to see so far has brought you into their hearts.

 

You'll have other opportunities I'm sure ^^

 

No, you're not a bad person. It's difficult to be open about these things.

 

You don't have to lie to them and make clear that you aren't lesbian. Is it possible to remain neutral about it?

Well, if they do go away after you come out to them, then they aren't real friends if they will leave you just because you aren't like them. True friends will want the best for you, they may try to change you or they may accept it, but they won't leave no matter what. So...I hope they don't leave you.

Really, I know how you feel and how hard it is, because nobody knows about my orientation/gender, or they refuse to accept it. But there's always a first step to coming out! All the best, can't wait to hear your success story.

 

You'll tell them when it's the best time for you to do so ^^

 

I feel like people really don't know me and who I am if they dont know Im gay. It's a big part of me, even though it is no one else's business. Kinda tricky :--D But I guess you cant force yourself to come out, it just happens at some point. I dont remember telling anyone exactly that Im lesbian, but it shouldn't be a surprise to anyone - people can read between the lines if they want to.
