I need help coming out

This will probably be the only time I post here as I rarely use Reddit but I’m using this to be anonymous and cause no one I know IRL follows me here. I’ll try my best to respond to comments!

Some necessary context: I(18M) know I’m hetroromantic and for a long while I thought I was straight. Eventually during my sophomore year of High School I had to move to another state and had to make new friends. My whole life I’ve never been the most “masculine” and I am comfortable with “feminine” things. This plus my enrollment in theatre was the fuel to people I know joking that I was gay. (Everyone who made these jokes knew me and were purely joking with no malicious intentions) I continued to say that I was straight. Now years later I started to have doubts about my quote on quote “straightness” and I started to do some research and bounced between labels before finally landing on being omnisexual. On the more personal end I’m a virgin and I feel that I can’t really call myself omnisexual because I’ve never done anything before.

My concerns on coming out are that I feel like I’d be proving my friends right after all this time. The other is that since I’m heteroromantic but Omnisexual I feel like I shouldn’t say anything because it’s about a (nonexistent) sex life. All my friends and family are extremely supportive and I know they wouldn’t hate me if I did come out.

Idk I’m kinda just ranting so any help would be nice. Once again I’ll try my best to give more context if needed or to respond to other comments.
