go ask them to follow you to the closet or something. Go inside, close the door on yourself. Go “I’ve been in here for a while.” See if they’ll get it.
If they dont, tell them the truth.
If they do, tell them the truth.
if your ready to tell them, then you should. i feel like what you can do is have them come into the living room or wherever you feel comfortable, and have them sit down. then you can slowly talk about it and lead up to tell them you are.. if that makes sense?
