I Know It's Hard...

Do you have any advice on coming out to family and friends? Because I really need some

My advice is;

• Just be yourself. I know how hard it is to get the courage to do this because it's such a big thing to talk about and such a private part of your life.

• Don't try to do some big party/evening/lunch for it unless that's something you're comfortable with.

• If you don't want to outright say "hey, I'm not straight", just go with dropping small hints here and there. While you're watching a TV show, point out a character you think is good looking and say something small like " so and so has a great butt" or "they're hot" or something like that.

• Make small comments and remarks that's could be missed unless someone is really paying attention until you're comfortable enough to address it or someone asks you about it.

• Don't push yourself into anything that makes you uncomfortable. If you aren't ready to come out yet, don't do it. Wait until you're comfortable and can handle any response that's thrown at you, good or bad. 

Good luck, I hope everything goes well for you. I'm here to talk if you ever just need a person to talk to. Don't let what they say devalue how you feel.
