If you think you can live with hiding who you are then hide it, but I know I couldn't hide it. It was hard to act like everyone else when in actual reality I was nothing like them. But just know you may miss the girl of your dreams while you're hiding.

There's a funny thing about coming out. You'll always have to do it. I must have come out to people about 200 hundred times. The only difference is that the people you first tell are usually the ones you care most about.
Most lesbians, tell 1 person that they think will be OK about it as a practice run, then slowly tell one person at a time and build up to those people who you think will be more negatively.
In my experience, even people that react funny at the start eventually once they realise that you can be happy the way you are are fine about it.
The most important thing though is that only tell people if you feel ready to help them deal with their feelings about it. There's no rush.
Good luck!

Same here on turning 30 i decided i had to knock the walls down and for once in my life be bloody truthful to myself...
My mum and sister were the 1st people i told who were amazing, my mum now thinks it a phase i will grow out of, so i had to explain facts like "did you have a crush on your best mate at 11 yrs old " NO lol , she is slowly accepting the fact....
The thing to remember is you have been discussing and going over this decsion for months maybe years, and when you do come out You are ready...
You expect that the people you tell are ready too, so just remember even though we have dealt with this and feel ready, they wont yet...
Good luck and just remember its about you and how you feel...
Merry Xmas....

Don't be scared. The sooner you do, the less you'll have to worry about it. Have a big party. With all rainbow decorations. Dont tell people that it is a coming out party.
Wait till everyone gets there and make the announcement.!
If people leave let them. That means that the ones that stayed are your true friends and family. Hopefully everyone stays. But u gotta be prepared either way since coming out is not easy.

Well, you could have the whole big coming out event. You could tell people one at a time in private conversations. Then again you could not make it a big deal and just out yourself in conversation. For example: "Do you have a boyfriend?" "No, but I did meet a woman at ___ last night. We're going out next Friday."
