I am a few years older than you but only came out a few months ago because I fell for a gorgeous girl and knew I had to be with her. I was really nervous about telling my friends and having it known around my work place, but I didn't want to have to hide how happy I was my girlfriend.
I started by telling a couple of friends that I was very very close to and they didn't even bat an eyelid. They were just so happy that I had met someone that I was so happy with. Their reactions gave me the confidence to tell more friends and pretty soon it was common knowledge where I work. I'm sure that there are probably some people that are pathetic enough to make silly comments behind my back but the amazing support that I have from my friends means that this doesn't bother me at all.
The whole thing has made me realise just how mazing my friends are and just who my real friends are.
Good luck with coming out and your new relationship.

Me too! I ve always known that I m attracted to women and I never told anyone until recently. I confided in my flatmate(risky seeing as it would ve been very uncomfy if she was homophobic) and she told me she s BI and had never told anyone either. Try to find somebody that u can trust never to talk behind ur back to others. It took me till I was in my 20 s to get the courage to talk so it may take some time. But at least u want to talk about ur feelings, I didnt and tried to push them down. You re on the right track. Best of luck.

There are probalb yother lesbians and gays there that are just as scared as you are. You've got a couple paths in front of you about how out you want to be. Weigh the options in front of you and decide which path you want to take. Some aren't as easy as others, but the rewards can be great. Oh, and remember: You only get to live once. Make the most of it.

You should start with telling someone you are close to, that you know won't judge you. It all comes with time after that. The older you get the less you care about what ppl think of you. Trust me I know. Good luck sunshine.

If it's someone that's really important to you, you should start by telling a few close people whom you trust. It will feel freeing to be open about it. Good luck with your new relationship!
