How can you tell if you are in the closet and in denial of your sexuality?

Give yourself a bit more time if you have to. Have you been increasingly attracted to the same sex? How long has this been going on? It could be just an awkward phase as you explore your sexuality. However, if, after a year or so, you find yourself still attracted to the same sex, you are most likely gay. Denial is not a healthy thing, and it's best to get out of it as soon as possible. When you think you are ready, come out of the closet on your own terms. Being pressured by some on else to do it will not end well and create for an uncomfortable and terrible situation. Being gay is becoming more and more widely accepted in our society, and there are outreach groups online and most likely in your community that can offer support and tips. Don't be afraid of your sexuality and don't stay in denial
