I am a senior in high school and I am thinking about coming out my sophomore year of college. Do you think that’s a good idea or should I wait until later?
I am autistic as well and everyone knows that I have autism, but most people don’t know I’m bisexual. Only my parents, my therapists, my social workers, some of my school counselors, a couple of trusted adults, and one long-distance friend who lives an hour and a half away from me (he used to live near me), he’s also a senior in high school, he’s also bisexual, and he’s a guy just like me.
I think as long as you feel comfortable doing so, you can come out. If you're ready then you're ready.
I’m going to wait until sometime in college before I come out to anyone else because of how immature high schoolers can be.
I have to agree with Nils you should only come out when you are ready to do it . It is not a good idea to come out just to please others as they are not the ones that have to deal with everything afterwards whether it be good or bad things . You will find in life that there are lots of immature people of all ages and yes there are a lot of them around high school age but saying that I have to say that there are always the ones that are super supportive and very mature and those are the ones you should associate your self with . Good luck and lets us know how everything goes .
I will, but I'm probably gonna stay closeted for a couple of years, so you're going to have to wait a while.
Take your time there is no rush . I know I will be waiting patiently and in the mean time we can hang out here and have an awesome time !!!
Come out when you're ready. If you feel like you're not ready right now, and you'd like to wait a year or two, there's nothing wrong with that. There's not timetable you have to follow. Just be attuned to your own feelings and do it when you're ready. Good luck.
Personally, I don't see a need for making a declaration of sexuality. Just live your life and love who you love. Have any of your straight classmates made big announcements about their sexual preferences??Did Jimmy declare in front of the class that he enjoys being tickled by feathers and eating peanut butter off of boobies? Well, maybe he did, but that doesn't mean you have to. Just be you.
But if I never come out, I will never be able to be with a guy. So I want to come out at some point. I want to have a sexual experience with a guy at some point in my life.
That's not entirely true. There are mounds of closeted people who act on their tendencies in private settings. Being out means just that, people KNOW your tendencies, you don't hide your tendencies and you are willing to participate in public settings with your significant other by your side and acknowledge by each other to others as being partnered as well as being able and willing to disclose to others that you are involved in or are interested in being in a same sex relationship.
If you think you’re ready to come out then come out! Do what’s right for you and don’t let anyone try stop you. If you think it’s time, then maybe it’s time! Best of luck! Xx
