Not to my family or friends, but to my therapist. Not now, of course, but when covid tones down enough for me to see her in person. I know I can trust her, she's not homophobic and is not allowed to tell someone else what I say, unless I'm being hurt in someway or I give her permission to tell someone. She knows this well. But I am scared that my parents will overhear, which is why I am waiting to do it in person. They aren't homophobic at all, just heteronormative. But I'm still scared. I don't want them to ignore me or who I am. I also don't want them to end up acting slightly homophobic in the least, or my classmates might find out and bully me. I don't need that pressure. And my best friend is a girl, they might assume I like her. And on top of that, me coming out sounds very awkard. I'll wait until I'm an adult to fully come out of the closet.

hi!! that's super exciting for you! coming out is a little awkward, but it definitely doesn't need to be. i hope your therapist is more than happy to celebrate /all/ of you! and whenever you do decide to come out to your parents, i hope that goes well too. best of luck! :)
ReplyYou sound like you're doing it all right - good for you. Taking your time, doing what feels comfortable for you. It sounds like a great, safe way to tell someone (your therapist). And if she is not homophobic then she's the perfect person to work with to plan how and when you want to tell others - when you are ready! My hope for you is that you feel safe and happy with your coming out and continue to feel that way as you take these steps. Take only the steps YOU want to take, when YOU feel they're right. Good for you.
