    First of all, HI :slight_smile:

    So, I've been thinking a lot about coming out of the closet to everybody on facebook. BUT.
    I don't want my family to know, apart from my sister. Is it possible to hide everything I do on facebook from my family? I'd like to change ''Interested in..'' to women, post LGBT stuff on my wall, etc. but I DON'T want my dad, uncles, aunts and cousins to see it. And I don't want to just delete them from my facebook, because if they ask why, I won't have an answer and it just seems mean, to me, in a way.. idk.

    I'm thinking about posting a status that says that I'm into women and everything..! Maybe on national coming out day.. I don't know yet :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    I'll repeat my question, just to be clear: Can I hide everything from my family on facebook without deleting them from my friends or will I have to delete them?

    Thank you! (&&&)
     
  2. I don't particularly care for the website, so I'm not sure. However, I think it would be very tricky to hide something from family when it's all over the Internet like that. News will probably come out some way, possibly by word of mouth.

    Yes, you can specify certain people you don't want to see certain posts.

    You can. Go to the "info" panel and edit your settings.
