A newbie here. I'm currently in the closet but I came here to gain some confidence for coming out someday. Joining a community like this is the first small step towards accepting myself as I am. So.. hi, everyone.. :smilewave
Hi there! It's usually easiest to tell a friend first, but you should do whatever you're comfortable with. There's no ideal time to come out, but once you tell a few people, it feels extremely liberating.
