Some of them even ARE queer, and all support queer people, but idk, none of the ones im scared to come out to, are genderqueer, or use pronouns other than she/her and he/him, so i dont know if they will understand, if they'll accept me or if they'll take me seriously.. also im scared of them maybe disliking my chosen name/s, and deadnaming/misgendering me..
#I came out to some friends, but im scared to come out to my other friends.

I feel you. I've only come out to one of my friends so far and it was months ago back when I was questioning. He's genderqueer and aroace so it felt the safest (the conversation basically went, "yeah, I think I might be bi, but idk man"). I don't really have any advice but you're not alone 😁
Ty
, also, dont be afraid of coming out to new people or other people, its not wrong to experience new stuff and labels, take it slow, if your friends dont accept you being bi, honestly thats jus their issue! Good luck and have a good day :)
late advice, but I feel like maybe it helps if I share my view
from the perspective of someone in a variety of diff circles
and in a friend group with pretty diverse cultural backgrounds but is only about up to 20% queer at absolute tops
I'm nonqueer; me and my other nonqueer friends would likely also be pretty accepting, but it would prob catch a few people at first
I had a friend who had a good few name changes over 2 years or so (like up to 10 or so),
but there were 3 names that ended up sticking (1 for each ~7 month period) and we went with those for the time that the person was alr with it
they're transmasc and we were pretty chill with that since we always knew them to identify as masc since the start, so we had time being used to it (familiarity with an identity helps a lot)
I'd say if your non queer friends seem accepting, you can consider it
if you're willing to go through and announce it, make it a strong decision that people will remember so that they can get to know you as what you declare yourself as
DW U ARENT LATE AND TYSMM!!
