have a plan. Thats all i can think of
If they don’t accept you, find someone that can give you shelter or someone you trust
Hey Thenor,
As others have said, make sure to have a plan, and a backup plan if things go wrong. Someone to go to, somewhere to go. You don't have to tell them, but it helps to do so. You got this. You can do this.
I recommend that you talk with them about setting time aside (e.g. 30 mins one night) for talking to them so its uninterrupted. Also, highly recommend writing what you're gonna tell them at first down, and reading off that to start :3
Another thing (sorry, this is the last) is to make sure that the conversation is respectful - not talking over one another, no name calling, e.t.c. and to try keep calm if they're not accepting. yes its gonna be emotional, just stay calm and cry, or do whatever it is you do, to get the emotions out afterwards.
Great advice! Sometimes you can also just casually bring it up in a calm conversation at for example at a café, like i did. Theres loads of options and not everything is for everyone :D
For me coming out was a complete accident but it went fine. Ive met loads of other people who came out in a similar way. Though if it isnt for you then find an alternative
I left signs and they eventually found out and said it was a faze so i just said it was for somebody in my school
