[Results] The proportion of negative emotion words (t ＝ -3.043, p ＜ 0.01) and sad words (t ＝ -2.211, p ＜ 0.05) in the group of non-coming-out group was significantly higher than that of the coming-out group. The life satisfaction of the people who did not come out was significantly lower than that of the people who came out (t ＝ 5.078, p ＜ 0.001). [Limitations] The non-coming-out group in this study was insufficiently sampled, and the subjects were not screened by age, selected variables were few and horizontal research, which made the research not comprehensive enough.
