2021-06-16

As an LGBT person, whether to choose to come out or not to come out, in fact, there are still many factors that need to be considered. Why not come and learn and make your decision!

 

There are many reasons why people choose to come out, the common ones are as follows:

 

They are ready to start dating and want close friends and family to know.

They don't want people to make assumptions or gossip about them.

They are tired of hearing other people use stereotypes or negative labels.

They feel that they are living in lies or unfaithful to themselves, and want to be accepted because of their true identity.

 

There are many reasons why people decide not to come out, such as:

 

They are not yet sure who they are or how they feel. They are still trying to solve the problem for themselves.

They believe that topics such as sexual orientation or gender are private and there is no reason to talk about them.

They are afraid that they will face bullying, harassment, discrimination, and even violence.

Their family members don't know, they worry about what will happen if their parents or siblings find out.

Coming out in our teens can be a bit tricky because we rely on our parents or other adults to take care of us and happiness. Some people live in places that accept LGBT. They are more likely to come out because they are more likely to get support from family and friends. Others realize that their family or social environment does not support them and choose to wait until they live on their own.

 

Coming out can be a very positive experience, and being sincere with family, friends and colleagues can be liberating. You can also be a positive role model for others around you who might consider coming out. 

Choosing not to come out is also normal, because many people treat their sex as a completely private matter-so it really depends on you. Only come out when you feel comfortable and confident.

 

No matter what choice you ultimately make, coming out is a personal choice. Please take more time to seriously consider what is right for you, and go on bravely.
