    I have the perfect opportunity to come out to my bestfriend this week, which i really want to do, however all i keep thinking is what if she doesn't take me seriously, what if i lose her or what if she tells someone else. Its just putting me off coming out to her because i dont want any of those things to happen.

    What do you think i do? Come out to her or not? :confused:

    I think you should be honest to her about what you're going through. It may take a bit of time for your friend to really process your revelation, so give her some grace in that department. But I'm sure your friendship will endure. Honesty in a friendship is never a bad thing.

    Thank you

    **UPDATE**

    I'm coming out to her tomorrow and I'm absolutely terrified! Any last minute tips will be much appreciated:slight_smile:

    Keep it simple and to the point.Be confident and don't make it into a big deal.Generaly if you don't make it a big deal then neither does the person you are telling.

    Good luck

    Don't be scared. If she's not okay with it, then she's not the kind of person you need in your life. But if she's really your friend, your coming out shouldn't change anything. Good luck! :slight_smile:
