Coming out at school

[Steffanie2020]

I just moved to Maryland and I don't know a soul here. I want to come out and be myself to people I don't know and make some friends. The problem is that I don't know anybody and if I don't know anybody how should I come out? And I feel like the only bisexual (lesbian, gay, ect) there so far, I know I'm not but I feel like it. How do I come out at school? PLEASE HELP ME😓😥😰😨😪

Maybe coming out can help you make some friends? Since you moved, I wouldn't hide it. Let it out, so you CAN be yourself. OR, you can just try and make friends and then let them know. The only way to make friends is to be outgoing and adventurous.

I don't see no definite reason to just "come out" and announce to the whole school you're gay. If by come out you mean be open about your sexuality, I don't see a problem . Just make sure you know it's safe there.

Just be straight (hahaha, pun intended) out with it...if someone ask tell them the truth.

When I started college this is what i did. It worked great for me and I have never regretted it.

You don't have to actively "come out." No one likes someone who's introduction is "Hey, I'm Sally, the lesbian." You can still be out and not tell everyone, you just don't hide it. If someone asks if you think Brad Pitt is hot, you say something like "No, but I'm really into Olivia Wilde" or whatever, and just make it sound as casual as possible. The more comfortable you are, the more comfortable they are. If you treat it as this huge thing, they're more likely to react in a bigger way, either direction, badly or well.

That's what I do. I don't say anything until someone asks directly or if the conversation calls for it. Who needs to know, other than your girlfriend or people you invite to your wedding?
