Am I a bad person for only telling my cousin I'm gay?

[jarkitor]

He is now the only one who knows I'm into women and I feel somewhat bad about it.

The rest of my family isn't homophobic or anything, but I just think it's best to not tell them until I know myself better. I trust my cousin more than anyone and he is also the one that showed me this app to talk to people without anyone knowing me.

Why would that make you a bad person? If you trust him, it's 100% okay to only share this with him for now until you feel ready to tell more people. There's nothing wrong with that.

[jarkitor]

Thank you!! I feel bad, because I know my family would be okay with it. I'm just not ready yet.

[xHoneyxBeex]

I understand that but it’s your decision and whenever you feel comfortable sharing with them, I hope it goes well! ❤️

[SnowedIn]

No it doesn't make you a bad person for only telling them. Just make sure they can and will keep your secret.

You just told the internet. Now everyone knows.

[jarkitor]

No one who knows me personally knows

[JustinTheGreat]

No. You’re not obligated to tell anyone if you don’t want to or if you’re not ready

[Guy13]

No one really cares. This is your personal and private Business and I bet you that anyone you tell is going to be like, "why, I didn't want to know that."

[In_Trance]

I don't understand why people need to announce this

You’re only 17 talk to a Christian counselor

Nope
