Whenever you feel ready. It's entirely up to you. I'm slowly coming out at the moment and you have to base it on how you feel so that you don't get rushed. Feel free to message me if anyone is struggling with this ☺.

When you feel ready. Nobody knows your times more than you. And for that I mean that you should do it only if you feel comfortable about it. And the most important thing is: not putting pressure on it.

It depends. If you live in a conservative area, your family, friends, or community in general have shown homophobic tendencies, you may want to wait, especially if you live in a small town where news travels quickly. But, if you feel you will be accepted by the people that matter, go ahead. You might not want to come out to the whole world at the moment, but find someone you can trust to tell,

When you feel is a right time, only you can decide when. But just know people love and accept you just the way you are!

That is very simple - when ever you feel ready. That is not something you can rush, you should come out whenever you feel the time is right. I wish you the best of luck x

Whenever you feel the time is right. It is easier to come out to one person at a time. Start with your closest friend, someone that you can tell anything to and you know will support you. Talk to them about ways to come out to other people. Come out to your parents and ask them for help on how to tell other friends or family members also.
