Should I come out?

I cannot come out to my family, and I cannot come out to my close friends. I never plan on coming out to these people (because I feel like my friends will treat me differently even if they don't mean to, and I can't even imagine how my family would react...because I'm bisexual it'll be easy to hide it, tough luck if I fall for a woman in the end, though), but I really need to tell someone. I know a friend, she's a good friend but not a "close" friend per say, and I know she's really involved in the LGBTQ+ community, and I want to tell her because I want to tell someone.

Should I do it? I'm afraid I'll regret it.

Edit: I really appreciate all your responses. Thank you. ❤️

Be sure your friend understands you aren't out yet and be prepared in case it somehow leaks out. If you have friends who know and friends who don't there's always the possibility someone will let something slip.

My son was accidentally outed on FB, someone posted something and somehow my mom saw it. I still wonder if one of my sisters didn't find out first and tell her.

@robb65 Nobody knows, and this friend isn't particularly connected with my close friends or family, so I think I'm good.
