Should I come out to more people just so that I can stop pretending and acting straight, just for the sake of acting straight?
It does get a little old after a while.

You need to do what is best for you and not worry about others. I think it would be extremely hard to pretend to be someone you aren't just so you aren't judged by others. Screw other people and live your life being you and not someone fake person. I know how hard it is to keep secrets. I suffer from depression and I am a therapist and I have kept my depression a secret for many years. I fear people not only judging me but basing my personality on that one little thing. I know it's not the same as what you are going through but I understand feeling the need to be secretive. There are a lot of ignorant people in the world. So do what makes you happy. You have a long life to lead and you need to be able to feel good about who you are and being real to yourself.

That's up to your discretion. If iyou feel it's the right thing to do, then go for it. If it's best left in the closet then keep it there til the time is right. Personally I'd go for it, I mean, there's nothing anyone can do about your sexual preference really. If it's at your job, they can't legally fire you for that (though they'll think of something else to say if they were to do that), but still. I'd just do it. I'm too open not to tell people. But for my job, I had to keep it in, that sucked. (military)..I'm out now so it's cool...lol out of the military too.

If you have faith in GOD, believe that the son died for your sins, then PRAY FIRST before you take such a leap. the worst advice is when someone encourages you without first giving you both sides of the story. Your whole lifestyle will change, from friends and family and attitude. Until we submit ourselves to Christ, we are all sick people in spirit. Trust this words, dont come out of the "closet" but while you are in there PRAY about it! Sin is sin, but I have failed at understanding why gay people will fight vehemently against the obvious. male+male=no baby. Gay people just simply like the sex, to say its love, is to say that a murderer loves the people that he kills. it isnt love, its sex, and its choice. Choose Christ. You are not gay, you just not sure what is going on in your mind. Give me your name and I will pray for you.

I'd just stop pretending and if you out yourself, then I guess you out yourself to someone. don't keep it a secret but don't make a big deal out of coming out if you don't want to.

That is a judgment call only you can make. If you feel that there won't be negative repercussions, then go for it. I agree that it does get old.

Be yourself. It won't matter to those who love and appreciate you. They will continue to love you for who you are as a person.

Sounds like you already know what you should do. Be strong and go for it.
