    Hello and Welcome to EC!!

    I would suggest coming out to the person that you feel most comfortable telling first.

    Hello and welcome to the forums! Perhaps a close friend that you feel will be accepting?

    Welcome to EC!

    As the above, try a trusted friend, an aunt or uncle, etc. it's called narrowing the circle from the outside in. As you get more comfortable with the process, you will see it gets easier!

    Welcome, I'm new myself too.
    I came out to my younger sister first and then my best friend. It helps to know how they feel same sex relationships first. If they're totally fine with them, then it's most likely they won't shut you out or make you feel uncomfortable.

    Good luck!
