    Hey, so I'm going to college next year and I really want to be out of the closet there but I've only recently been okay enough with myself to even contemplate this. I'm out to a few people and hope you guys can help me raise that number!

    Hi and welcome to Empty Closets! Enjoy your visits! :slight_smile:

    As RaRa said, you have come to the right place. Congrats on your coming out journey thus far!

    It really depends on how ready you feel to come out further. Once you are at college, a good approach might be to join a LGBT club on campus and become active with them. Usually, LGBT groups provide for a safe place, give you the opportunity to make some new friends and also can help you in becoming more comfortable in coming out further.
