Hey there so I really want to come out to my mom but I can't think of a way to, idk why I'm afraid to because she's all for homosexuality but I feel like she will be disappointed in me so any advice? :help: Oh and I might be deleting this account right away, only made it to ask for advice :/
Best not to beat around the bush about it. If you're unclear and unsure, she will be unclear and unsure also. If you really really really want to tell her, the easiest (but most terrifying) way is just to say the words "I'm Gay". If she's shown support for homosexuality in the past, there's a chance she suspects it in you. Hope that helps. Peace be with you.
Hey, I felt the same way as you when I came out to my mum - I knew that she supported LGBT+ people but I thought that if I came out to her she would be disappointed in me. I agree with Mangotree, try not to beat around the bush about it. If you're really nervous just make sure you're alone with her and try to force yourself to say something like 'I need to tell you something' and then this way you're committed and can't back out. I know it's terrifying but it will be worth it in the long run.
I'm soo nervous, I'm thinking of wrighting a letter to her because I can't talk serious face to face with anyone:bang:
A letter is also a good way. But again, keep it simple. I think there's some coming out letters on this site somewhere if you need ideas or inspiration. Peace be with you. ---------- Post added 22nd May 2014 at 07:46 PM ---------- I just looked, they're under the 'Resources' tab and then look in the column on the left.
Thanks for telling me where the letters are (*hug*) I've read a lot of them and I've started a letter for my mom, I'll post the draft later today
