    I almost did it EC buddies. I almost told my parents gay, well actually I txting them but whats the difference but then I chickened out and decided not to. Well maybe chickened isn't the right word.

    I guess maybe its my brains way of telling me I'm not ready

    Just thought I'd let you know

    Hey there - congrats on almost making it. I think the worst part of coming out might be the fear/preparations before you actually say something. The hardest part is actually deciding that you can do it; then, it's only a matter of time before you follow through with your actions. It's still a huuuuuge step to come close to telling someone, and it'll make the next time so much easier. take your time...it's not a race :thumbsup: Good luck :slight_smile:

    Just wondering, but what'd you tell your parents before you chickened out? If it's not too personal or anything. I plan on telling mine soon but i don't know how.

    Well for me I'm doing it by text since doing it in person is way too scary for me, even though I've got a pretty good idea of how they'll take it. So I was planning on sending a text with something along the lines of "Hi, Look I've got something I need to tell you but I don't know how your going to react" or sort of take it from there. I live with my parents to so there not suspense in getting a response.

    But as my post says, I chickened out and chose not to send a text at all.

    Hopefully next time I will
