Just yesterday I saw someone come out, congratulations again, meanwhile I’m still scared to do it to most of my family, currently no one except my siblings, mom and few very close friends knows I’m ace, and if I remember correctly a few more in high school knew before I quit to homeschooling. But I want to tell to more members of close family so they leave me alone already. I had very bad experience and because of that I haven’t told anybody and I don’t want to live through that again. Everyone knows how they treat LGBT in Balkans and most of the problem is in that.

What’s the best way to come out and evade common insanity of questions when you do, if someone knows, please let me know.

    Hi comrade. I just came out on lemmygrad and discord but not irl in general. I know exactly how you feel. I have only a close friend who knows I’m trans and he’s been very supportive. I have lived through bad experiences as well. After an experience I had that I don’t want to disclose, I realised that coming out to my family face-to-face was out of the question. (They’re lithuanian btw)

    Honestly before you come out, make yourself in a safe position to come out. I don’t plan to come out until I’m heading to university and even then I’m still hesitant. If you don’t feel safe, I highly recommend you do not come out until you do.

    I can’t give any more advice beyond this as I don’t know your life experience, but I hope this helps nonetheless. Good luck comrade 🙏

      I had terrible, awful and traumatic experience in school especially. I don’t know how to do it, I’m more comfortable about coming out to closer family now than before, but I don’t know how without classic bullshit they talk after coming out.

      Thanks a lot
