    I will message 2 of my friends who I am certain will accept it :slight_smile:

    As for coming out to my family, no. Just no. It's not going to happen any time soon because it will wreck my relationship with them forever.

    I'm already out to my most important people, but I'll consider indirectly coming out to the rest of my friends. If they pay attention, they probably already know, because when they ask me if I'm male, I'll say yes, and then I'll turn around and talk about how annoying my bra and period is. I also once said something like "my titty" and they all just went quiet so... :shrug:

    I'm out to all of my family except my parents and I have zero plans on telling those homophobes. I already don't talk to my motherand id like to retain just a little relationship with my father. My brothers and sister have been super awesome about it.

    I'm also not out at work, but I don't have any problems with that if I get serious enough about a guy.

    I'm seriously considering telling my grandma tomorrow, but I'm not 100% sure yet.

    I don't know. I'm thinking of possibly coming out to a few of my friends... but I don't know if I have the nerve. I mean, I know they will accept me (Two of them are pansexual, and one of them is like obsessed with gay people) but I haven't come out to anyone yet and really, I only just came out to myself and accepted my orientation.

    Top lel.


    If they'll accept you, you shouldn't be worried.

    Yeah, you're right. I just get anxious really easily, but I'm probably worried for nothing.

    Read my previous post to the other people. See if that helps.

    I'm really excited to read all the success stories tomorrow, but at the same time I'm dreading it because I know I won't be among them. Such a coward. :frowning2:

    You're location says Canada( Edit: I miss read.It says Boston. I just saw the Canadian thing and assumed it was the same actually.) . Aren't they really accepting over there? I was planning to leave because personal problems (or just click on one particular thread.), but I'll stay for one last person (if you haven't blocked me yet.). As you can tell I'm pretty fucking pissed. That's a different story. What's up? What's your problem?

    Is it just being afraid to come out? Or are the people you know all "grr I hate those fags"? If you know one person who is accepting, go to them first. "One small step for man. One giant leap for mankind." kind of mentality you know? That first stepping stone is the hardest, but it only gets easier from there.



    Edit: Opp, too late. I'm out. Just re-read some of my other posts in the beginning maybe that will help. If not, be cool. You'll do it one of these days.

    Peace.

    I *might* come out to my one aunt tomorrow. I wanted to do a mass FB post, but I don't think that would be far to my other aunt that I haven't come out to yet.

    Hmm I've decided not to do it. It's not that I'm scared to come out, I just feel that a text might be too awkward and impersonal (?) so I'll try to be patient and wait for the opportunity to tell these people face-to-face. Can't wait to hear stories from others though :slight_smile:

    I'm definitely gonna tell my cousin (she's 13) because I know for a fact that she won't mind :slight_smile:

    I really want to tell my mom, get her out of the way so to speak. I'm pretty sure she isn't homophobic, but I just get really fearful and my heart beats really fast when I consider it.

    I'll probs send her a FB message (not necessarily today, though).

    I had no clue that this existed. I don't think I will. I have a blog and I sometimes make little jokes on sexuality and write about my cryptic feelings of love so, if some people want to interpret that as a coming out of sorts, that's fine. They'll probably interpret wrongly but, oh well!
