    How can I come out to my best friend? I feel like we're sorta drifting apart lately, and I want us to be closer again but, I am also worried that i may disappoint her if she finds out i'm gay. I have asperger's syndrome so I am very bad with this type of thing, i have no idea what to say or how she will react. my whole life ive acted as if im straight, saying stuff like I'll have a wife and kids.etc when im older. but i lied to her (and everyone else) so i'm afraid she'll be upset about that and she won't be my friend. and she's all i've got.
    sometimes I think about telling her i'm only bi but i think that may be a bad idea :eusa_liar


    sorry if this has been asked lots of times but could somebody give me some advice?

    Considering I don't know your friend, it's hard to give accurate advice, but this is what I'd do.

    I would say that I needed to tell her something personal. I would remind her that I'm telling her this because I trust her very much. I doubt she'd be mad at you for lying. If she seems mad, remind her that she's one of the first people that you've told (I'm assuming thats the case) so as opposed to feeling offended, hint at the fact that she should feel honored.

    Good luck!
