    I'm just trying to find someone to talk too. I consider myself on the dl. I've only came out to 3 of my closest friends whom are girls. Been freaking out and getting a little bit of anxiety because of something that happened to me this weekend. I don't want to be out. I have a son to think about.

    First off, hello and welcome to EC!

    I'm sorry to hear that you've had a bad experience. If you don't feel safe fully being out, then hold your cards closer to your chest. It won't be easy living in the closet though, but like I said, if you don't feel safe then it's best to keep it between yourself and your close friends.

    Feel free to browse the site's different sections and subsections and participate. Don't hesitate to reach out to myself or another member of staff should you have trouble navigating the site or need a more hands-on approach to what you're going through, or just need to vent privately :slight_smile: There's always the Anonymous section if you don't want your username linked to the thread, so there are options, lol. Have fun, you've come to the right place!

    Welcome to Empty Closets!

    I think if you are in an environment or situation where coming out may create an undesirable situation for you then perhaps coming out at a time where these hazards are non-existent. Like the post above, it won't be easy but at least you will be able to wait for the right moment for you to come out safely.
