Where my closeted fags at?
I've always told myself that if people don't need to know then why should I tell them? But if I'm honest the deceit, if you can call it that, does bother me.
I wonder that if I told my family, would they be most upset that I hadn't told them sooner.
Are you just not telling them or are you lying about being straight? It's not deceit if you're not pretending to be something you're not.

If feels like a good redemption when you come out. It wasn't difficult for me because I didn't make it that way. I just brought it up in a joking matter and they took me seriously.

They've never asked but my guilty conscience won't let me off on a technicality.

I've told everyone that's bothered to ask (friends class mates, a couple coworkers at my last retail job) except for my immediate family.
-Been "out" for over four years, but parents and siblings have yet to notice because they have no interest in my life.
-when my dad was cheating on my mom/not sleeping in the same room with her before the divorce she'd scream at him that he was a "faggot." He's straight, but that being her go to insult didn't do wonders for a preteen me that was just figuring out he wanted the D.
-my family's method of arguing is to ignore the topic at hand, and immediately attack a person's perceived insecurities. "I thought you said you were going to do the dishes?" "Well you gained five pounds!" kind of shit.
On top of being a very dysfunctional communication method it discourages us from being vulnerable with each other. Telling them I am gay would be just one more soft spot they'd go after in a fight.
I've already got the minimal support I need, and the people that need to know, know. If people are offended that I do not want to confide in them, then I see that as their problem not mine.

I'm closeted to everyone except one friend.
I honestly could come out at any time and probably be fine as my parents are very liberal folk and my friends don't really give a shit. As of right now I don't really see the need though.

Not closeted exactly, but I generally feel awkward when the subject comes up (do you have a girlfriend, is that your brother, etc.). I don't lie if someone asks, but it still makes me uncomfortable after all these years.
I could never tell my parents i'm bi, luckily i'm only bi/agp and can appear straight.
