coming out

[joshM1996]

hey, my names josh im 17 and bisexual and i want to start coming out to people more now and was wondering if anyone could give me some advice on how to do it

[Abyssal Echo]

I'm completely out so I understand that its a big step for you to come out. best advice I can give is to start with a close friend or a relative you trust. The first person I told was my cousin and she was really cool about it. I wish you the best. hope it turns out well for you.

Same here.

Start gently, and then take it further.

Good Luck

[johnsmith1]

Good advice already. Start initialy with those close to you, who will understand (and may have already guessed when U tell them).

Good luck.

sorry, i may have worded the question wrong, it was pretty late when i wrote the question (thats why i put it in the wrong section) ive told a lot of close friends i just want to come out completly now ( but without the rest of my family knowing, so social media sites dont work)

what if your friends accidentally tell your family if they come over or something?

[joshM1996]

its only me and my dad living together and all my friends that know dont bring it up near him because hes really homophobic, and my dad already knows anyway so it wouldnt be a huge deal if they brought it up around him

Your luck and have cool friends but tbh i dont see what your getting at you say you dont want to tell your family but your dad knows + hes a homophope i dont see why you dont just tell everyone

You may be looking for good and cheery advice but you shouldn't tell everyone in one go. I don't know if it was just my experience but I made the mistake and over the past 4 days some people (about 4/196) have been attempting to use it against me. Trust me, don't tell everyone in one go. Tell people you think will accept it at first then as everyone starts to get to know about it, if you get questioned just tell the truth. :) (This is my first time back on here in nearly a year so Hi again)
