I want to come out to my friends about my queerness (both gender wise and sexuality wise).

My main problem is that I have a hard time being vulnerable with others. These are very close friends of mine, and I want them to know. However, I just never know what to say. I get extremely awkward.

How can I tell them in a casual, but meaning full way?

"Hey I have smth important to tell you"

#

"I'm __. This took a lot of effort to tell you, and I hope you are accepting of me and my identity."

#

That's it

you can even just say something like “if i was __ how would you guys react”
and if it goes well, you could come out
if it doesn’t you probably shouldn’t
