I really want to come out as Bi. But I don't want to come out to everyone, like just one of my closest friends, does this sound like a good idea? :help:
That absolutely sounds like a good idea! Unless you have any reason to think the person might not accept you? The first person you come out to should be someone you are pretty sure about. It makes so much difference to have friends who know who you really are an accept you.
If you sure you are, yeah, if not, don't. (I'm very confused and now people make assumptions where I don't even know myself)
Thanks, Ianthe and Caught Im pretty sure I am, but regardless if I feel differently later on, if I only tell my friend Im pretty sure she would understand. ---------- Post added 2nd Sep 2012 at 06:53 PM ---------- Not sure how Im going to do it though. Gonna wait untill school starts.
The only thing I'd add to what's already been said is... I would be absolutely clear that the friend you're coming out to is one you can trust with your life. It can be hard for people your age to keep secrets, so this would need to be something she doesn't tell *anyone, ever* without your permission. All it takes is for her to tell one person, and have that one person decide not to keep it a secret... news like that tends to travel really fast. I think it's a great idea to be able to tell someone, just be sure that your secret is safe.
