Marv Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Hi @Anthony IV There are numerous ways you can come out. But first, let me tell you: you don't HAVE to. You can keep it a secret as long as you want. I realised I liked girls when I was probably 15. I didn't tell anyone until I was 18 (this year). As of now, only six people know, and my mom wasn't the first to know, she was the last out of those six to know. What I'm saying it, there's no rush to tell people; you don't have to. But, by all means, if your instincts say to do to, do it! Bunch of ways you can tell your parent(s)/friend(s): - Text them - then you don't have to see their physical reaction - Call them - a little more involved than texting, but still not as scary as in person - Tell them in the car - this is a good one because it's usually a nice chill environment and car conversation is good right? - Leave a note/letter - you're not physically there, you're not calling or texting them, this is a good once because the person can think over it if the need to - Face to face - the scariest one probably. You could do this on a walk with them, or any time really. This is how I did it. - Text/call/letter could be done whilst you're not at home too, so you're not with the person so it's kinda less scary, So you could leave a note for your mom, then go out with your friends for the day for example. Hope one of these helps! and good luck <3 MultiQuote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony IV Posted June 10, 2019 Author Share Posted June 10, 2019 Thank you for giving me some ideas. I'm really nervous, but I feel this weird pressure that's building inside me and its starting to make me feel uncomfortable. I will try and wait until the time is right, but I will definitely use one of the ways you listed. Thank you! MultiQuote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marv Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 @Anthony IV No problem! And that's fine. I waited years until i started telling people. You can wait as long as you want to. MultiQuote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
