Is it normal to be afraid to come out?

If you mean come out as a homosexual then you also need to climb out of the closet of ignorance - almost everybody who is gay is scared to come out! Tolerance isn't ubiquitous. Speak to some gay people who have come out, hear about their experiences. That'll show you just how normal it is to have concerns. There are probably a million websites about it. Here: http://emptyclosets.com/

If you mean come outside, perhaps it's anxiety, agoraphobia or something similar. Therapy (self or professional) could help - again search online, there will be websites to help you.

If you mean come out of a cage because it's being guarded by several hungry, angry dogs, then that's understandable. Fashion a weapon out of whatever you can and beat them into a fine paste, using the cage as your protection.

If you mean come out of the bath tub, you should do it anyway, overcome your fears or become a wrinkly swollen blob of a person with transparent skin floating in a puddle of your own piss and excrement until you finally die from starvation or Cholera.

Me too... It's just not safe to go outside anymore, with all the meth heads in my area. They might try to steal my shoes and sell them for drugs. Then there's air pollution that might constrict my windpipe; causing me to suffocate.

If not those two, I have to worry about that stray cat that lives in my gutter and jumps down and claws the shit out of my neighbors. It never attacks me but I'm worried about that happening soon.

So yeah, stay inside, its a dangerous world.

Come out of what?

The closet? This world be normal.

The House? You might have Agoraphobia,
which a therapist can treat.

The Library? You'll have to come out of there whether you want to or not because they close at a certain time.

Etc. (It would be nice if you elaborated.)

Did you know i was gay? No? Well you do now.

This may depend on your upbringing or how you think your family might react. There is no rush, come out when you're ready.

It is completely normal. I am straight, but I have had loads of gay friends i didnt even know were homosexual until recently.

Wait, you are talking about being gay, right? Or are you just scared to go outside? If thats the case, man up and go, fresh air is good for you.

Make sure you are armed to the teeth ma IIN'er it's a harsh world out there.

Totally normal. For some reason my friend came out in middle school over a text sent out to almost everyone in the entire school.

Just tell them. If they don't accept it, then oh well. It is who you are, don't be embarrassed or scared by it. Embrace your differences, and love your flaws. That's what makes you you. Ok I'm done. Where's my Klondike bar?!

Of course it is. :) Keep your head up, and stay strong. When the time is right, you'll know. Good luck :)

Accept yourself for who you are. Embrace yourself no matter what.
If you're gay, that's totally fine. It may not be to some people around you, but that doesn't matter, you do.

Oh yeah, sure. I came out of the bathroom once, forgot to put my pants back on. My cats saw the whole thing. How embarrassing, am I right?

Yes, it's normal.

Come out of what?

Homo.
