I mean are you considered out if you believe some people just shouldn't know but you've told the people you know will accept you and the few that needed to know whether they liked it or not? Just curious, I'm out to my parents by accident I suppose. My dad took it very well but my mom was so upset with me. That was a while ago...I had to come out to her twice and I'm not doing it a third. But, I just came out to my aunt. And all my friends that I care about know. So, would you consider me out of the closet or no? Just curious..
you're out in a way. but the thing is, nobody is ever 100% out, because there will always be people who don't know and assume your straight. like when you meet new people, you kinda go back into the closet and have to come out to them all over again, even if you're open about your sexuality, it doesn't mean you're completely out.
so technically speaking, nobody can be completely out, but people can be out to certain people, or groups of people. so you're technically no longer in the closet to your parent, aunt and friends. i mean, you should be happily 'out' when you no longer have to live a lie to those people who you care for. so when you feel like you're out to everybody who matters, then you're out.
I remember reading something a few months ago on here where one guy said he didnt believe in coming out -- that why should he have to spell it out when heterosexual people dont, but this was after he had come out. That changed my perspective on it, but alas still only one person knows.
Back to you, I'd say being "out" is being comfortable and confident enough so that should someone ask, you dont lie and you dont need to hesitate, you can be fully open.
I defenatley agree with the relipes. I am sortof in the same siduation, alot of people know.. then theres others that you just dont think need to know.. and its like that for alot of us
