Finding a local peer support group can really help to find people going through the same thing

idk what your situation is, and ofc there are reasons for remaining closeted, but if your friends would't accept you for who you are then they are not truely your friends. I've lost many people I once considered "friends" by coming out to them, but it has lead me to a better place where I don't feel the need to hide who I am to the people I'm closest to.

While I was more closeted however, I found other people who were in similar situations as me, both online and in person by going to local events. That really helped me express who I am and talk about my life without exluding a large part of my identity.

Usually, how I cope with being gay is by not telling anybody or sharing it with friends whom I'm super close with. I feel relieved when I tell them since I know there won't be any judgment behind it. My twin outed me to my parents, so I didn't really have a say in that matter. I wish you the best of luck in hopes you'll be comfortable enough to express your true self.

I can only exist because I'm able to be out online. I'm out as pan romantic, but I am unable to come out as genderfluid. I think it's best when you can find other friends to talk about it with.
