When you came out of the closet, did you find it harder to come out to friends or hard to come out to parents/siblings/family?

[Croconaw]

I found it easier to come out to my close friend. She actually brought it up in a conversation. She said that we looked lesbian when we were doing an exercise together. I told her I was bi, but I didn't like her like that. (that was obviously a lie. I do like her)

I'm only out to a couple friends, but it has been pretty hard for me. I don't think I want to do it anymore.

I found it easier to come out to my cousin. she was pretty cool about it.

Totes just read this and I'm not out... #YOLO

I found it easier to come out to friends, but my family was completely fine with it.

[Tarannosaurus]

Definitely family I didn't even fully come out I told my mother I was bisexual and she told my father. He reacted really badly and my mother started trying to make me more feminine (short skirts, make up, etc) and encouraging me to get a boyfriend. My friends are cool with me being a lesbian.

[BandedKlepto]

I have always been "out". I've been the way I am, I've looked at boys and girls, always have, and then one day I got a boyfriend, told my mom, and wha-lah my entire family labels me as gay. So. Yep. It was simple for me. My friends all knew, my family all knew, and it was all fine. I'm not gay though, I can still be with a girl. I am attracted to people, not their gender. So. Yeah. I am currently in a gay relationship though. Weeee

I found it easy. tho my case is not conventional. you see, my two older brothers, who are 10 and 12 years older then me, both came out many years before me, so my coming out wasn't that big of a deal really.

In my case i found it way more easy to tell friends. With family i just freak out. But i have told my mom and she keeps telling me stop lying.

[Hermes96]

I found it easy with a few friends but really hard with others the same go's for my family It was easy to tell my mum but not my sister and father

[Thomas01]

Hard with parents and family. My parents found out and I didn't have a choice so yeah. Plus it's harder because you live with them and I didn't trust they'd be cool with it

[Jakie23]

I found it harder to tell my mum. However, she told my dad, and he didn't talk to me for like a week

I came out of the closet about a month ago and found it MUCH easier to tell my friends because i feel like i am closer to them in a way than my family. I think telling a family involves bigger risks of a reaction than a friend so i felt like my good friends would accept me for who i am no matter what and i was unsure about my family. In the end, they all know and are perfectly fine with it! :)

I told my friends and thry accepted it... i told my mum and she told me i wasnt bi... even though i am. none of my family know

[ATOMICskittles]

Way easier for friends. I knew my family would be COMPLETELY accepting towards it but it was easier with friends for some reason. I think its because they, my family, have known me as someone for 13 years, and I would be telling them the complete opposite, that's what probably made me a little nervous. I came out my whole school before any of my family.

[Zakky Boy]

It was a lot easier for me to come out to my friends since they know me on a different level to my family.

[Twilly F. Sniper]

I'm 100% out to my friends and even to everyone else at my school, but I really don't want to come out to my family. I know I will have to at some point, but I'm sure it is much easier to come out to friends.

[mermaidfairy]

I'm out to my friends and it was easy to come out to them. For some I just outright said I'm not straight, others I said a female celebrity was hot. I came out to my mom but she said I was doing it for attention and threw me back in the closet, so I'll have to re-come out on a later date. Telling my friends was SO easy, but my family, not so much.

[AbyssalLight7]

I've only come out to a few friends so I guess I'm not all the way out, My parents are overly Christian type homophobic people so ya, no way in heaven or hell I'm telling them.
