I really need to come out, like now, to everyone. See, after I explain a little bit, your going to say "Wow, thats it? o.o" Here is what friends/family community is like about gays etc Family: Very accepting (Sisters are in-fact bi) Friends: Accepting Community: Gay Pride Parade, School has a Gay-Straight association - LOTS OF SAME SEX COUPLES IN TOWN So really, it would be easy right? Apperently not. See, I know everyone would accept me easily, but its like im still afraid of something, no clue what. It really makes no sence to me, but for some reason, there is something holding me back. I would REALLY like suggestions and advice. I know I have been gay since 3 (I didnt know what you called it then though) And I still havent come out! Its been way to long and im ashamed of myself for not coming out by now in this situation
well this is what im doing this wedneday im going to tape a letter that i wrote to my om telling her im gey to her mirror and just leave do it and leave thats it because when you think about you get all neviouse and talk your self out of doing it.
Once you come out there's no going back. You're in the spotlight. No matter how accepting your home is, there's always the rest of the world. You never know who is truly a homophobe. Perhaps some of these contribute to your hesitation? If you're not ready to come out, then don't.
Its understandable. Even when the fear makes no sense its still there. Once you make the leap you won't regret it
I think the more people you tell, the easier and more calmer you get about it (from what I can gather from one of my gay mates). Since you're in such an ideal and accepting environment, I would go for it! Remember, we're all here for support, so if you feel like you ought, meet it head on; overcoming your fears feels amazing! Though, this is coming from someone who was petrified of heights and refused to climb ladders, make what you will of that, I'll happily hang off a ski scrapper now... We're all here, good luck Wall! (*hug*)
Good luck ^^ and it does get easier as you tell more people! The first person for me was REALLY hard, the second was a bit easier, and then it just got easier and easier... until I decided to tell my parents, that was REALLY hard all over again XD But yeah, from what you say, the people around you sound real supportive so give it a go make sure you keep us posted on what happens tonight in this thread!
