because no one really cares

The other poster is right. Only come out to those close to you whom you can trust. It may be that they have guessed already. I have a gay son and a gay daughter and have always known since they were quite young without them telling me. Their other siblings knew too. Those who love you will accept you for who you are and not what you are. Remember that.

Let's be realistic here. Many families have problems identifying with young people who are gay. We are not such a liberated society as many think we are hence why the OP feels unsure of himself.

If I was you I would come out to your family first then your close friends you don't need to tell everyone

Hi I think I'm gay I have only told my mum and best friend I don't know if or how to come out to the rest of my family and friends

You said you 'think' you are gay. Please make sure that you are before coming out!
Secondly, don't feel like because you're gay you have to come out. Obviously in a perfect world we wouldnt have to do that but you shouldn't feel pressured to do so.
If you know the person really well and you know that they're in no way homophobic and you feel you want to tell them, just do it gently. There's no magic way to say it, unfortunately.
