I'm not out yet but sometimes I just think to myself, what's the point? It's like I'm looking for validation from someone when it's no-one's business who I decide to be with. Obviously in some cases, your sexual orientation will be required (if you get asked) but it's just one of those things that make you go hmm...
And some people are like "no-one needs to know, no-one cares" when an LGBT person comes out to them.
Once I'm financially stable, I'll just date who I want and if a family member or a friend wants to cut me out of their life because of my sexuality, I honestly wouldn't give a f***k.
Not saying there's anything wrong with coming out tho.
After you come out it feels like a huge weight is lifted off your shoulders. Then time passes and you realise nothing changed and then you think to yourself "why did I even bother"
With coming out I legit just told my parents and best friends that I like guys and It's up to them if they want to tell other people.. as long as the people who I love knew then I was happy aka i felt like I wasn't lying to them. I don't understand putting a whole facebook message telling EVERYONE but no shade if someone does that I just don't understand it. I said to my parents and friends if you don't like me liking guys then there's nothing you can do to change that e.t.c luckily everyone I know has been supported so much <3 It's honestly not as bad as you think and if it is it only usually lasts for about a month max due to shock! If someone if still upset after say a month they are honestly not worth your time.. hope this somewhat gave you or anyone advice or made anyone feel better.. I know it can suck hiding your feelings 24/7 <3

Well i would never say something like "why did i even bother"
Coming out is not an event, It's a process and very important for yourself.
Coming out doesn't mean "Hey, I'm gay. Look at me! Whooo!" but It means you can casually say "God, this guy looks SO hot" without feeling weird or uncomfortable.
I mean, I know for a fact my family and most of my friends wouldn't take it well, so what's the point? I'm honestly at a point though where I just don't give a sh*t what other people think, so maybe one day I'll just start dating a guy and if they find out they can make whatever assumptions they want. If they want to leave my life because of it, I'm not going to stop them. But I'm also not going to make a huge deal about coming out.
