I always thought that I would stay in the closet forever, but recently I have been thinking about things and I am ready to come out. I am lucky because my parents will be completely accepting of it, but I still am really nervous. My parents confronted me about my sexuality a couple of years ago and I told them I was bisexual and we laughed about it and that was the end of that. However, I know that they know that I am gay, probably because of all the porn I watched on the computer when I was younger and didn't delete my history :lol: I don't think that they know that I know though, if that makes sense I am a really shy person and I find talking about sexual things really awkward, so I don't know how to bring it up. I also want to tell my friends, but I am more worried about doing that. I think that they will be accepting of it, but they have asked me numerous times before if I was gay and I always told them no. I am worried that I will tell them, then they will tell there parents and so on. One of my friends mum work at the school we used to go to and even though I left school, I don't want everyone to know because it is my personal life. I have 5 good friends and they are all girls but 3 of them are in relationships. I get on well with their boyfriends and I am worried that it will make things awkward between us and their boyfriends. Again, I have no idea on how to bring the topic up. I am going out in a few days time and I was thinking of getting really drunk so I could have the courage to tell them, but I doubt that is a good idea. Any advice please ?
Don't get drunk for starters, or at least not in order to come out. If they're your friends just ask them to keep it confidential and it shouldn't be an issue. It sounds like neither your friends not your parents will react badly so I think you're in a good spot. I would do it and just tell people not to tell everyone else. I think you'd be fine then.
