Coming out can be tough. So here's some advice that helps me:

- Take your time! Don't come out when you don't feel comfortable with it or you don't feel the time is right.
- Hope for the best, prepare for the worst. That way when you come out, you'll be ready for anything. You'll be okay.
- Come out on your own! You'll feel so much better when the words come out of your own mouth, and you'll have so much more confidence in yourself.
- Explain what you are. Don't say "yeah I'm abrosexual" and expect them to know that. Ask if they know what it is, explain it,and then tell them. They might not understand, or might think they understand but don't. Don't expect them to already know.
- Come out to who you want. You don't have to come out to everyone you meet and explain your story over and over. Come out when you see it fit.

Anyways, hopefully this helps you. Of course, everyone is different, so maybe some pieces of advice are better than others. Either way, good luck and have pride!
