    The title kind of says it all. I decided to fully come out recently :grin: I've started: I told my parents a few months ago, my best friend yesterday and 2 others friends and one of my brothers today. But it was just so akward xD I'm terrible at introducing the subject smoothly and I always ended up having a very creepy smile and chucking (I do that when I'm nervous)
    Anyway, since I'm going to do it to group of people compare to one-on-one akward talk, just wanted to know if someone had any idea to ease the subject a little so its not too random ^^'

    Maybe try to steer the conversation into the LGBT+ related stuff topic, and see if they are accepting (unless you know they already are, but still bring up the topic), and then just tell them however you feel comfortable.
    Good luck!
