    Hi! This is my first post, so this may be a little bad.

    This all started in September, when one of
    my friends came out to me as bi. A few monts later two of my other friends came out pubilicly as bi and pan. I came to terms of myself being gay, and I know I'm ready to come
    out to my friends. But whenever I get ready to come out, instead of doing this, i just drop a hint. Whenever this happens, my fiends get really confused, but carry on. I'm then left there kind of mad because I couldn't say it!:***: Any advice?!:bang::bang:

    Being scared is perfectly normal.
    Just relax and be yourself, the right words will come at the right time.
    Your friends will accept you.

    Start with one, and when you feel comfortable enough. Another. Then another one. Yo don't have to rush and dont feel pressured cause your friends are. If youre ready you will, its a big step but the first step is the hardest.

    I'm sorry to hear this maybe you freeze up when you've got to say it to them in public maybe add your friends in a private group and write your feelings and tell them it might make you feel better messaging It cuz the. You can get all your emotions and thoughts in there

    I had the same problem. Once you do it a few times it becomes easier. My first person was over text. Theres nothing wrong with that. Just do what you are comfortable with and know that your true friends will not care that you are gay. :slight_smile:

    And don't feel pressured to come out before you are ready.
