Thread: Im gay, in the closet and need some advice?

ok, here goes.

Im gay and in the closet, all my closest friends are straight as can be and im pretty sure i would loose their friendship if i told them and thats something i dont want to happen. My family is another story. They would not react that well if they found out.

Honestly, im lonely and it eats me up. I have no one to talk to about this. Im sick of pretending to be someone that im not but my friends and family mean so much to me but they would not accept me for who i am as it would be such a shock to them. and im sure some of you will say "well then they arent true friends" but to me they are. I guess im not 100% sure how they will react but id rather not risk it.

Any ideas or advice would be great
i probs also should of mentioned im extremely straight acting, hook up with girls and so on.

look im 15 and in the closet im just like you if you need to talk my e mail is [email protected]

People are not stupid. Chances are most of them have figured it out by now anyway. I have a cousin who stayed in the closet until he was 35. When he finally told me he was gay, I told him that I had known that since he was about 18. It didn't change the way I felt about him. I still love him the same and he is still a wonderful friend and fun person to hang out with. You are who you are and you can't live your life in a lie. There will be some that might not be able to handel the fact that you are gay but there will be just as many who will love you regardless. Give them a chance. Wouldn't it be nice to not have that hanging over your head?

first of all-do u have a closest friend-is it a boy or a girl, ur friends may not react how u think they might! When i came out my str8 jock friends were kwl with it!
