When you are ready and are as confident as you are ever going to be. Coming out when both of you are in a good mood is useful too.

Whenever you really fully wanna live the way you truly are . you can hide things if you are ok doing it. But when it's too hard to handle you need to let it out

The right time is the time you choose. There is no "right time", it's a very personal decision! Some people will never come out and others will come out right away. There's no right or wrong here, only what you're comfortable with!

When you have accepted yourself. And realise that people don't do anything because of you. Self acceptance is key. First.

The right time to come out is whenever you feel you're ready to and are comfortable doing so. (How you come out is totally your choice too btw). It's entirely up to you! This said, for the sake of your safety and happiness, I probably wouldn't advise coming out in an environment where you're likely to receive any abuse, i.e. to certain right-wing or religious groups.

There’s no an exact time to come out. You should come out whenever you are ready and fell comfortable telling others

When it is safe. When you are in a safe, supportive and loving environment. I cannot stress enough to be safe.

The right time to come out to people is whenever YOU begin to feel comfortable with who you are, and are ready. There are so many things that come along with that, and it can be a scary and trying time. Just remember that even if you can’t surround yourself with support in your personal life, or if people aren’t supportive — there are people here who will listen, and give you that support. Bottom line is: That it’s all about honoring YOUR own personal feelings and heart! So the answer is whenever YOU feel ready and safe, would be the right time to come out to people.
