I kinda wanna come out, but I’ve seen people that come out as gay get treated badly (not physically but verbally), I don’t want to change people’s perceptions of me in a bad way, and I don’t wanna be treated like that and have to deal with the homophobes. I’ve already come out to a few of my close friends which has gone about as well as I could hope for, but other than that I’m in the closet.

It's hard to face other people's gaze. I think we've all been there. It has to be your choice to say it. After that, unfortunately, there's a good chance you'll experience homophobia (which is a crime). I know what helped me was the fact that my close friends stood up for me against others. But it can be hard to live with
