A guide to coming out, what is the process of coming out?

The stereotype of coming out is usually that young LGBTQ people begin to accept their identity, realize their identity, and decide to open up their identity to everyone in their lives. In those success stories, they're loved, accepted, and now, they're even treated to a party to celebrate coming out.

This simplistic and rough understanding oversimplifies the complexity of coming out. In fact, coming out is a series of processes that may run through their entire lives.

Sexual minorities face a lot of stress when thinking about coming out. Although they both want care and compassion, LGBTI people are often plagued by the following questions when considering coming out:

1. Will others understand me?

2. Will others still treat me the same way?

3. Will others criticize me?

4. Will others be angry?

5. Will others be sad?

6. Will others hurt me?

7. Will I lose my job?

8. Will I lose my family?

9. Will I be unsafe?

Under these pressures, LGBTI people often feel lonely, separated, confused, sad, ashamed, fearful, angry, and vulnerable. These coming out stressors can help us understand an unfortunate statistic that LGBTI people are 3 times more likely to experience serious mental health problems.

Because everyone reacts in a variety of ways, from acceptance to dismissiveness, each coming out experience to a different person is unique.

If you take the process of coming out as a means to achieve the goal, in fact coming out is a series of processes. In addition, it is important to reconsider coming out as a cyclical event in order to better understand the pressures experienced by the LGBTI people who are subsequently discussed.

It might seem simple for a person to come out to their loved one and then report to him or her for missing someone, but this may not be the case.

Because of the differences in personality and circumstances, even though a person may have been coming out and living a satisfying life for decades, there will still be difficult experiences in the course of life, such as moving to a new place, starting a family, or changing jobs. Regardless of one's level of self-acceptance, these moments can cause these problems, emotions, and stress to resurface.

Entered the ranks of homosexuality ...

Many people who identify themselves as homosexual, or who tend to have same-sex sex and maintain same-sex sexual relations, while maintaining sexual activity with the opposite sex or maintaining long-term heterosexual relationships. These heterosexual practitioners who maintain same-sex sexual behavior are often considered to be part of a group of people who "hide in the cupboard" or hide their same-sex sexual orientation, and the number of this group decreases as society becomes more tolerant of homosexuals, and they confess their sexual orientation to others as "coming out of the cupboard", or "coming out." Although many scholars and members of society are concerned about the physical and mental health of homosexuals, they have not addressed the situation of homosexuals coming out and the impact of coming out on their mental health.

And how much do gay people come out today? What are the main pressures they face? What are the factors that affect their mental health?

These questions are worthy of study, and they are also the main issues of the author's investigation and research.

Friends, remember the saying, "Running away will never solve the problem".

Homosexuality is now acceptable because many people have understood the phrase that existence is reasonable.

Parents who think about their children's happiness will eventually accept their children's sexual orientation, and parents want their children to be happy most than anything, and you need to make them understand that the path you take will make them happy.

The vast majority of parents who know their children's sexuality are most worried that their children will be lonely and uncared for when they are old, because they have not met homosexuals who are happily living together, and they will not believe that two people of the same sex will be happy together, until you are really happy with your partner in the future.

will identify with your path. Of course, it is not excluded that there are a very small number of parents who completely ignore the happiness of their children and treat their children savagely.

In short, coming out is not easy, but it is the only right way. Regardless of whether parents are traditional or not, even in the most traditional countries, there will be parents who think about the happiness of their children. I wish you all the best.

Respect their choice and be happy for them, because they didn't run away and were all brave.

Respect, non-discrimination, and non-discrimination against them. It's an open society now, and I don't have to stick to that.

Courage is commendable, it is admirable to know oneself and accept oneself in pursuit of self-happiness, but it is hateful and shameful to use an innocent third person as a tool to hide one's identity and procreation.

I hope that society will be more tolerant.

The cabinet came out in public in the second year of high school, and the incident happened suddenly, and I was almost killed by my mother on the spot. After that, he was isolated among his relatives in school until the end of the college entrance examination, and now he is far away from his hometown in college, trembling and protecting his orientation.

I respect people who come out and don't despise or look down on them.

I think it's better not to come out now, because when you come out, basically everyone is against it, not as good as others say, after all, it is a minority, and one day the Chinese can accept it!

It's very courageous, in this day and age, I dare to open up about my sexual orientation, I think it's normal to be gay, who you like and who you like and who gender doesn't affect anyone, why oppose it, why discriminate, take 10,000 steps back, just don't accept it, what can you do, if you don't accept this kind of behavior, it doesn't exist? No one dares to open up about their sexuality, and there is no homosexuality in the world? That's covering your ears and stealing the bell.

I think we should think carefully, there is only one chance to choose the path of life, as long as you feel happy, then don't care about other people's opinions, as long as you don't regret it.

I admire these people who dare to come out, dare to act, and are above board, much better than those who cheat on marriage.

I originally wanted to come out after graduation, but I asked my mother what she thought about homosexuality some time ago, but what I didn't expect was that my mother would say disgusting, and I didn't expect it, so I didn't dare to say it, and I was afraid that after I said it, I would be restricted by a meal of education, and I wouldn't be able to meet him, and I felt that my mother was feudal....It's annoying.

If nothing else stands in the way, I think the feelings of homosexuality would be more sincere and deeper than the gratitude of ordinary heterosexuals.

Even if the society is already very enlightened, it is still not easy to come out, it is not an escape problem, even if you are an unmarried person, don't come out to your family easily, it will really be very tired and ......helplessUnless you are sure, if not, maybe the lie will be more suitable than the truth to live in peace of mind! Don't overestimate your parents' love for you!

Where will the years be quiet? The world won't be gentle with you yet! As a person who has come to tell you: without considering the surrounding environment and your own ability to bear, you really have to be cautious!

Since there is something that exists, there should be room for their existence, and it should be respected, understood, and tolerated.

How so? This is a very strange thing, I thought that coming out was my own business, my family should be able to accept it, but as a result, some things happened to others, because they had nothing to do with themselves, so they could accept it calmly, once it happened to themselves, it would be bad, but I really hope that my family can accept the fact that I came out. I also hope that everyone can face their true selves and follow their hearts!

Now the real social environment is better not to come out! Otherwise, it will force you to jump off the building ......
