    My only advice for those who are in the process of coming out is to do so only when you are ready. Don't let anyone rush you! Don't let anyone make you feel bad for hiding it!

    That was my mistake , i took an advice from some people and came out to my family after breaking out with my GF. Deep down i knew i wasn't ready but i was told to man up ! I came out to my mum who ended up screaming and letting everyone in the house know. It was BAD.

    Bottom line , only you knows the details of your situation. Don't afraid to come out but only when you are fully ready.

    Couldn't agree more, it's a phased process. The word time is extremely important. It can't be rushed. I personally needed time, I needed to be comfortable with the idea.
    I'm really sorry your coming out wasn't in the way for wanted.
    Have you considered counselling it therapy. It helped me a lot.

    Hi Jon ,it's been over a month now . Things are not getting better with me . I think more time is needed for better things to come (crossfingers)
    I wish i can afford counselling therapy ! But i'm trying my best to be positive and focus on finishing my study.

    If you need to talk, please do, I don't judge anyone. Or write on my wall if you so wish. I hope things get easier for you
