It’s Only You
I'm not saying put yourself in a position where you'd face harm if you were to come out. I can't offer specific tips, because every situation is different. Had I come out when I realized my attraction to other women, I'd have had to find a new place to live. Growing up, I was bullied harshly because of rumors about me.
However, I will say that no matter your circumstance, whether it's safe to come out or not, there's absolutely nothing to be ashamed of. It's only you; nothing to be afraid of. You're beautiful as you are.
