Today I told my friend that i thought I might be gay. He took it well though i think he was very surprised. I am planning to tell two other friends too. Any advice on breaking the news?
PS You can't believe how unbelievably hard it was to tell my friend, but I had to tell someone.

PS your PS, We do understand how EPCIYLLYLYLYLYLYLYLYLY hard it is.
Just make sure you know you can trust them, it can turn very very bad if you cant.
Time it right. And just stay it, try not to sugar coat it unless you HAVE to.
If you need any more help, feel free to PM me (once u post some more -.-) or VM me. :)
Hope it goes well for you Liam. Good luck.

Congratulations!! You're over your first hurdle, and as time goes by, those VERY TALL hurdles will become almost non-existent.
Just concentrate on being happy.
Good luck

Do make sure that when you tell them, say it straight out. "I'm gay." I'm not sure if you said it how you told us ("thought I might be gay"), but it's critical to let them know that you're sure. And if you're not sure, then I wouldn't go around telling people just yet.
But it is very tough, I understand that completely. I just told a friend of mine that I was bi over facebook. She took it incredibly well and said "Oh, that makes another bi friend," and she even still wants to hang out and have sleep overs (which I thought would become completely awkward, but she was the one who suggested the sleep over). Remember that the people who are your real friends, who really care about you, will understand and accept you, even if they are a little surprised at first. If they don't, forget about them!

I was the same way dude. Congrats for telling somebody, that has to be the hardest part right there. As for telling others, when you tell them, if they don't take it "well" (which they should) then don't be afraid to not call them your friends. If they're real friends, they WILL understand, and not be worried about it.
