    My mother really thinks I'm gay (evidence left around).

    I told her no. But she doesn't believe me.

    I think I should just tell her but it's hard saying I'm gay.

    If you have a hard time saying you are gay to yourself then you aren't ready to say it to your mom yet.Stand in front of a mirror and practice saying "I'm gay" over and over until you are comfortable with it.

    You might want to try a letter and or having some PFLAG material ready for her to read....coming out is hard, but worth it in the end.

    If your mother is trying to convince you that you are gay, i think its time to come out :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    Haha I know how it is- the other day I was actually doodling rainbows, except they werent rounded, so it looked more like pride flags. I didn't even realize what I was doing, so my mom comes in and is like, are you gay?
    Me: o.o no...
    Why didn't I just say yes?! Cuz it's hard. But don't be the scardy cat that I am, and come out! Especially if your mom already assumes so. :slight_smile:

    if your mom already sorta knows then you shouldn't feel any pressure to say your gay until your ready

    The other day I heard this saying "people don't ask questions they don't want the answer to". So if she ask she probably ready to know and has already accepted you. Go for for it dude. I wish someone would ask me.

    It is hard, but you will tell her when you feel the time is right. change is scary, but it is also good.
