Is it okay to NEVER come out?

[InbetweenDreams]

@FluffyDango It probably isn't healthy to stay in the closet for most.

Just some random thoughts I have thinking on the subject, not really a response.

One of the reasons is being outed and the consequences of that. On the flip side, coming out in some situations might be worse than staying the in the closet depending on things like your peers, employment, the country you live in and so forth. So is it ok to never come out? Well, I think the question is whether or not you are ok with never coming out? I'd wager that most people hate playing the game hiding things from everyone.

So how does one in places where it is unsafe come out? I mean it is easy for us to say, well just move to another country, another state or province...another town or another neighborhood, find another job and so on. I mean some of those are clearly easier to achieve than others and some people may have more resources than others, but it's generally not good advice to suggest to someone in say Russia to just move to the UK, the US or whatever. Most people just can't do it. I guess I really don't have an answer. I will say that most of those in the west are probably ok to come out to at least family, friends. I myself, I'm not really out publicly, as in I don't put pride flags on my car or tell certain people, I don't talk about my private life at work but I'm also not hiding it either. I post pictures of me and my partner on social media and leave it at that.
