Why do lots of gay people feel the need to come out?
When I was 16 I told my best friend that I was gay and he just sorta said "oh that's cool, wanna play street fighter?".
In my head I was expecting to lose him and everything to be weird, to the point of having a literal anxety attack. Ever since then, I just introduced my boyfriend and people didn't seem to care.
Is it time to abolish the idea of coming out?

unless you live in a shitty place, there isn't really much of a need to keep it secret anymore. i came out so i could be open about myself. there really isn't much to it, anon. either do or don't, whatever.

I don't know why I did it to this day
>live in a place where being gay is an abomination
>even liberals in the area aren't comfortable with it
>never occurred to me that I might be gay despite wanting to get fucked by dudes and watched a ton of gay porn
>finally figured out I might be gay
>super concerned and confused about my life
>tell my mother
>she's pissed but tries to control herself
we never talk about it again and we both pretend I'm straight
