Anyone else wish they had come out at a younger age? I personally came out when I was 16. Still feels a little late compared to some tho. So much wasted time in denial just fills me with regret.
I havent come out, aside from my one best friend, to my family and I am 19, going 20 this October. I think it is about timing.
I feel like it was better to wait until people were more mature. Coming out in Jr High and they'd rip you apart, as a senior, people are all "I respect your life choices." But I think it's different for each person, too. And you have to come out to yourself first, which takes a while. As for family, I haven't got a clue, that's still "death first" stuff for me.
I'm 28 and still not out so yes, I wish more than anything I came out when I was your age. The longer you wait the more difficult it becomes.
I was 17 when I started teling people I was gay. Though since discovered I'm bi, but only a few people know about that, and I'm 27 now. I don't think 16 is late at all. Some will come out earlier of course, but many will be your age and many will be later too.
I feel you there. I wish I had known I was gay sooner. I had thought I was bisexual since about 13, but I never felt any need to come out because I hadn't admitted it to myself quite yet.
