Well, I have known that I am gay for about 7 months now. I lately I sort of feel like I would like to tell one or two people, because it is wearing to keep the secret for so long. My question to you all is this: what made you come out? How did you know you were ready?
I grew up around people that could judge homosexuality very harshly, and it took me a bit to realize...that I didn't feel bad about my attraction to other guys. I just didn't want to be hurt by people I knew and trusted. I think you just have to give yourself time to think. Your sexuality is private....and once you find someone you can trust and you feel that it's the right time, then tell. As long as you are true to yourself. Good Luck and welcome to EC!!! (!)
Just knew i could trust them....i wanted to be able to be myself and express myself... hardly going to get a boy pretending to b stragiht
I know how you feel, I want to tell certian people then when I try somthing comes up that makes me feel inscure about it andI don't want to anymore. My most trustin friends are the ones I don't feel comfortable telling!
It was probably after six months or so of me knowing that it was starting to wear at me. I didn't want to come out; I was quite scared of the whole idea. What I really wanted to do was not have to keep a secret like that bottled inside. It made the whole thing worse. After a little more time, I got more comfortable with myself and was able to start the process. I knew I was ready because when I woke up every morning, it wasn't the only thing I thought about. Haha, don't get me wrong I still thought about it a lot though.
I'd known I was gay for about 7-8 years before I came out to my best friends. By that time I trusted them completely, but I'm a massive wimp and was scared that they'd be angry that I lied to them for so long. I only came out to them as a last resort after they set me up with a girl Basically if it feels right and safe to come out, go for it! Don't live in fear like me. That gets you nowhere
I actually recently came out to a friend they took it really well I think that lately i feel like I'm holding this thing inside i want to explode from frustration I came to terms with the fact that I was gay and that some people weren't going to accept me for who i am and being this way isn't something that i chose I was born this way and it;s my life i shouldn't let other's stop me from me living my life and then i just had to comeout to someone
