Hey guys, I haven't posted in quite a while... I was just hoping someone could give me advice... For some reason, every single time I tell someone about me being gay I just get really nervous and after I tell them I stress out and always regret it. It's kind of annoying because in some ways I just want to be myself, but telling people just stresses me out. My family doesn't really accept it so we haven't even discussed it since I came out because they're ashamed I guess. But I just don't know what to do because I want some friends to know, but I always stress about it, plus I don't think I should tell everyone since I'm in highschool. I just feel like I'm in a sticky situation. Advice? :icon_sad:
The first couple of times you tell someone are really hard. I know I kept trying to tell people and chickened out for a long while. I remember the first person I tried to tell was my cousin, but I changed what I was going to say at the last second and completely choked. It was many years after that before I finally said something. All I can say is the more you say it, the less stressful it will be. Eventually I found I was completely comfortable with telling people and even had fun coming up with creative and funny ways to tell them.
