I’m 21 (F) and I’ve only just opened up to my friends and family about it. I’ve mentioned it to my friends when we’ve had deep drunk chats and then I’ve opened up about it recently to my parents. It’s honestly like a weight taken off my shoulders just because it was exactly that, the elephant in the room. If you feel it’ll help you, casually mention it to those closest to you. It doesn’t have to be a big deal, it wasn’t for me.. it just takes away that awkward feeling:)
