    Ok, so I'm already out to any of my friends/family members that its safe to come out to. The thing is, that was awhile ago and it kinda made me wanna come out to everyone but I know I can't but the urge has been building to the point where its almost slipped out a few times (and by "slipped out" I mean I've bee pretty close to blurting out "i'm gay" in the middle of a conversation :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:). Anyway, I'm really scared of coming out to anyone else, but its driving me crazy to stay in the closet, and with the holidays coming up I'm worried that if I don't come out to someone, I'm gonna accidentally end up coming out to everyone, if that makes any sense :/

    Hi,

    I'm in the same boat as you. I have come out recently to my parents and two close friends and everything went very good, however in my circles I have other people that aren't very accepting, but I will thell them

    If you want to come out and are confident and ready I advice you to do so, because these people will have to face the truth sooner or later. I think the moment you choose to come out (or in case you have a slip of the tongue) isn't as important as the confident you are in yourself and your identity. :icon_wink

    I totally agree! :slight_smile: I recently came out to a slightly wider range of school friends, at which point some twat (if you'll excuse the language ;D) overheard me (I assume) and started telling a load of people (before I felt ready to tell them)...

    Thank you guys so much! Hopefully over the holiday I'll get to test the waters a bit and hopefully I'll be able to come out
