    I'm new, and I'm out and about ^^

    here's the memo:

    I feel like if I tell my friends that I'm gay, that they'll just leave me, and even worse, be disgusted by me...
    and if I tell any girl I like that I'm attracted to her, she'll be freaked out by the mere idea of it

    so yeah, I hope to get some advice from this place, 'cus I'm sick of suffering quietly :frowning2:

    Welcome to EC!

    Do you have any evidence about your friends' views on homosexuality?

    Some don't seem to show any feelings on it, and some I know, are okay with it
    but I bet the latter wont be okay with it if I tell them, and/or tell them that I like them (more than just a friend)

    and thanks you two :smilewave

    Hello and welcome! I've been going through the same thing. The very few people I've told have taken it much better than I feared.

    Hi and welcome to EC. If you're wondering about coming out, this is the place to get comfortable with the idea.
