I am really afraid

[Flyerboy95]

I have no worries about financial independance. I have a job and can support myself. It makes sense when you say they are probably not my real friends if they don't accept me for who i am.
I think its not so much them not accepting me that is worryng me but me breaking that image of myself in their eyes (which is not real to begin with). I dont know how to explain it.
I will take Mattys advice for now and share it with one person for the time being.

Thanks everyone.

That sounds like a good idea just telling one person. There's certainly no right or wrong way to 'come out', whether you tell everybody at once, or just tell one person for now, it's got to be the right pace and comfortable for you, and whilst we can all offer advice, only you will know what that right decision is - I guess 'comfortable' isn't the best word here, it probably won't be comfortable at first, but I think you get what I mean :-)
