Hey goodluck, but let me ask you, did you or did you not tell your parents? Where is the video, I'd like to see the reaction.

Good luck! You'll be great, you're taking it slow which is smart. I sort of rushed into it and should've waited to be as comfortable as I could be about it, but I'm working through it now. I don't know if when I come out to my friends if I'll post it to FB, I feel like people will just find out as they talk to me as it comes up in conversation, I'd be so so nervous to post it to FB! But do what feels right of course, it's all you!

Telling people will be awkward, but some people deserve to find out from you. If there's one piece of advice I can give (that every gay person will hate me for), its that you should apologize. When my best friend told me, I wasn't angry that he was gay, but because he didn't trust me enough to tell me sooner. I understand now why he felt he had too, and he didn't owe me an apology, but it would have made my reaction at the time better and helped me cope with this 'new' aspect of his life.

I think we should elope.

Also I wanted to add a link to a coming out video by DaveyWavey that he made for people to send instead of coming out in person. If it didn't work for you it might give you some ideas. I can't seem to put the link in a comment, I keep getting an error mssg. It's on Davey's channel wickydkewl, the vid is called "Mom & Dad: I Have a Secret..." I would be more than happy to listen, offer advice, answer questions etc. any time. Best thing about YouTube is the on-line community available. Good luck.

It's all up to you of course. I started with best friends, then family. I chose people who had been positive when gay issues or people came up & that I trusted not to relay the information until I was ready. The positive responses encouraged me to keep going. I did notice a couple of "friends" (not really obviously) that backed off but in the end I told myself that if they didn't/couldn't accept me then I didn't need them in my life. My existence is not dependent on the approval of others.

I took the advice of some of the commenters on my own videos and I am so grateful. I used to wait all of the time for the "perfect moment" because timing was awkward. I had 4 perfect moments come up in one conversation with my best friend and it was awkward still. Eventually I just told her. I find it easier when you are with someone who already knows because you have support and someone to help fill in the awkward silences. My 1 friend has been there when I told 3 other people

First I was transfixed on your voice!

But after a few minutes I realized I should type a comment. *smiles*

I don't think I could tell my parents after all the life's trama they went through with my other siblings. I do hope this adventure your about to set forth on fairs well! I told some friends and my wife (yes my wife always knew, guess that makes me BI, really I would have been completely gay had it not been for her), but no one else as if yet.

GOOD LUCK!!

@mythril4 thanks heaps !!

yeah im scared to tell my parents haha

Hey man! How's it going? Facebook would be a great way to let everyone know at once, I would just tell your closest family directly. Just make sure your tone of voice isn't to distraught, they might suspect something's wrong. Ripping it off like a band-aid might also be an ideal way. It could just be plain and simple and they can tell you their thoughts afterwards. I hope this gives a little insight and help. Also, know that if anyone isn't there, I'll always be here. Take care buddy :)
