I think i am gay... What now????

you seem to be in a good place right now, congrats dude but do you feel the need to/would you to come out?

 

i know that your afraid of them not accepting you, but they seem like they would take it well if they were your friends for so long, do you know how they feel about homosexuality? just to be sure

 

Just remember you can come out any time you choose, if your still not sure wait, you have your whole life ahead of you so don't rich and make a fool of yourself, however if you feel it's a good time do it.

 

I had that when I first realised I was attracted to a friend, it feels like butterfly's on steroids but don't worry it goes away and after you tell one person (in my case a friend of mine was BI without me knowing and she sniffed out the fact I was gay) it becomes so much better. BUT MAKE SURE YOU TRUST THAT PERSON.

 

your closet is closing in on you, in other words your just scared and depressed thinking about their reactions, but remember their your friends and they care about you, they should care about you but um what about your parents?

 

Tell the person you trust most and take it from there, unfortunately there isn't a handbook on coming out so you have to take the plunge and hope for the best, but I'm sure it will go well.

 

you could try a letter or text or in-person

 

I'm not the best person at ask, as I I've only come out to three people but it's easier to do it by text as I find it hard to look them in the eyes, that may just be me, also be ready for lots of questions.

 

there is no "right" time to come out only YOU can truly know that

 

Have your parents given you any inkling as to how they'd react? I know a few of my mates came out and their parents pretty much knew already. My parents actually sat me down and asked me a couple of years ago but I was still that far in the closet I didn't know myself. I was worried about how everyone would react but so far haven't had anything but positives. Some people do react differently but at the end of the day it's about your happiness. Do it when it feels right and do it how it feels right, only you'll know just what they are.

 

I can only really speak from my personal experience but when I eventually let go of the fear and started to come out the depression sort of went with it.
