    Do you think it's smart to discuss my sexuality (not sure yet) with a friend even though I'm not sure what I identify as?? Should I wait until I'm certain?

    How close of friends are you? Is he/she supportive/open to homosexuality?

    It's mainly a matter of how open-minded they are and how close you two are.
    If you talk about everything, I think it'd be safe to talk to her about it.

    Dear friend

    It is best to wait. Once you figure yourself then you will know what to tell people. If you keep switching people might lose belief.

    Sometimes talking about it with someone can help you to solidify your thoughts and "identity".
    I guess it just depends if you think the friend will be a support or a hindrance.

    Peace be with you.

    You could identify as uncertain.

    I'm not 100% sure and I've talked to 3 people about it. 2 of them are gay themselves and I found it really helpful to talk to them about it. It sounded as if I'm feeling a lot like they felt which was a relief! The other is a very close straight friend who I completely trust. I think telling people is fine if you're sure you trust them.
