Right, someone's gotta take care of the brain quick. I may be watching too many zombie shows.

I would finally get the courage to tell my parents and family about my sexuality and die happy if they accepted me for who I am.

They're completely unaware, as far as I know, because I'm not a feminine guy. But I haven't had any girlfriends, so I don't know if they suspect, but probably not, because of the fact that I'm into computers. :P And my family is religious AKA homophobic. I'm like the perfect son, that everyone in the family looks up to, so I'm very scared to ever come forward. I like to tell myself that I'm bisexual, because that makes me feel less scared, but I don't know, to be honest.

Please, watch this video.
In short, if you are have a job and live alone then yea, sure, why not tell them. Otherwise, if you really depend on your family and you know how they will react, potentially kick you out/abuse you etc etc, there is no point in telling them. It's not about the courage, its about knowing the consequences. :)

I feel like pretending to be someone you're not is worse than any consequence. My parents are not extremely religious like my family (I may be using the wrong term... is it relatives?), so I have some hope that they will accept me. I think they will be disappointed, of course, but I think I can make them understand it better and realize that it is normal.
I was scared to tell my family that I'm an atheist for a while, but I'm slowly losing that fear, and I told my mom at least twice that I don't believe in God (she immediately shut me down, saying that was absurd and that I had to read the bible, but at least I was able to get it out). So I hope I can figure out a way to slowly do that for my sexuality as well.

So maybe try to drop simple hints here and there - something that you can back off from if you feel it's not safe ground - to just see how they react. It was a long way but it worked for me and I guess my parents accepted the possibility of me bringing lover of any gender home (tho I guess they still don't really believe that because I didn't do it yet). Apostasy is still ahead of me >u<
No matter what I wish you luck. I know it's hard but I believe it's worth it. <3

Well, you are not really pretending to be someone you are not, you are just waiting for the right time. Its really stupid to put it like that. I mean, what is the point of telling them if you know they will do something absurd? That's nonsense. Think logically. They MIGHT abuse you, kick you out of the house, send you somewhere where they will "fix" you etc...OR if they are normal human beings, they will accept you and do nothing about it. On the other hand, other people are going to say "Tell them, fuck the consequences..." , but in the end that is just my opinion. That's what I would do if I were on your place.
(This is if you KNOW what its going to be like if you tell them. If you don't just follow "Vilk's" advice and you will be okay.)

But I am pretending, because I have to act differently when they're around. I can't be myself. But thanks for the advice!

Oh ok.
Well, I never had a girlfriend and my mom slowly started adding "...or a boy" to sentences...
It never bothered me much, I know what and who I am.
I was pretty sure about your sexuality since the day I saw you on here, but I guess that's because you aren't hiding it here. (not showing it either, but it's noticeable...or I'm just quick to judge a book by it's...musical tastes, lol)
I don't really have any advice that hasn't already been said here or anywhere.

Yeah, I mean, my number one idol is Madonna, for crying out loud. xD And I used to be a Justin Bieber fan (I once bought his DVD and my dad went like "seriously? Justin Bieber?", and my mom went like "well, he likes it"). If my parents didn't raise any suspicions from that, I don't know what will. :P

I was just joking, since taste is relative. :) I can see why with Coldplay, but Muse? Is it because their song was the theme of one of the Twilight movies?

They're religious, so they don't think it's normal (there have been some homophobic comments).

I...would...sing.
Why?
Never ever in my life have I sang aloud in a sober, controlled state.
Sure, I've sang when I had a few too many drinks. I've sang in my car. I've quietly sang in the shower, and in the kitchen when the electric kettle or extraction fan was on. I sang when the vacuum cleaner was raging.
Never did I sing in a quiet, open space.
I would sing.

Next time when you go to a shopping mall or whatever with lots of people. Go to the restroom, lock door, sit down and sing aloud! Wait 10 minutes to come out after you stopped singing. The people who heard you are already gone. I beliebe in you ;) Maybe somebody picks up your tune even

When I was a kid, i did singing classes, but I was to shy to sing in front of a public. My teacher told me to do the exact same thing. So i did at the restroom of Waasland shopping center Sint-Niklaas. I was 8 years and rocking the hell out of that potty. Half year later we had a musical and I had a leading role. Went perfect, my singing dissapeared but I will never forget that moment :)

I would love to do that too. And dance in public like this woman. She gives me so much life. xD

I'll get back to you in a couple of months.
Probably tell one person I love her one more time. Oh and maybe do that thing I always wanted where I throw like 500 paper planes from top of the building just to see where will they all land

Probably cry for half an hour, then have an existential crisis for an hour or two and then just sit on the PC distacting myself until I finally decide to get out and do something fun for once... then die as soon as I stepped outside because I spent too long doing nothing. Time's up, you died.
