I have recently discovered that I am bisexual and I need some help/advice on coming out. I know everyone has that certain moment where they 100% feel ready about telling someone, but I'm not there yet. I'm confident in myself I'm just nervous about how people may react. I want to tell someone, but I don't know how. If there is any help/advice someone could give, please, help me.
Hey cooldude25x, You should only Come Out to someone if/when you are ready to do so and feel comfortable doing so. I'm a firm believer in the idea that you should understand and be totally accepting of your sexuality before Coming Out. You indicated that you are not yet to that point. That is totally fine. And Bisexual people have some additional issues that homosexual people don't have to deal with in terms of biphobia and bi erasue. Check out these websites: The Bisexual Index | What is Bisexuality?

I usually spit it out naturally in a relevant conversation, about relationships and crushes, or LGBT rights. Unless it's a family member... then it gets more complicated.
well I have come out to a few people my-self but I am the same I don't feel ready, I was going to come out to my aunty and uncle a few weeks ago but there was just something holding me back and I didn't want to ruin the relationship that I had with my aunty and uncle, but I am almost ready to come out to my parents but I don't know how they are going to react.
that's exactly right and to be honest I have had a few problems about a year ago from some people that I have told
Concurring with all who say to do it when you're ready. I'm coming out in two days. I'm petrified. But I want to do it and know I'm ready because when I think about NOT doing it, I get sad. I'm tired of hiding. For me it's more about my family being confused or not knowing their reaction than them being unsupportive. I know they won't care. They've said before that it's not important who my sister or I end up with as long as we love them and they treat us well. My mom even asked me almost point blank if I was gay. I'm not, but I seriously am kicking myself for not having an answer ready. I could have already gotten it over with. Oh well. I'm also afraid I won't be believed. I have been boy crazy my whole life so they might just think I'm confused? But I'm not.
