What am I doing here?
A closet is a small and enclosed space, a cabinet, or a cupboard in a house or building used for general storage or hanging clothes.
Figuratively, a closet is a place where one hides things; "having skeletons in one's closet" is a figure of speech for having particularly sensitive secrets.
Thus, "closet" as an adjective means secret — usually with a connotation of vice or shame. To "come out of the closet" is to admit your secrets publicly, but this is now used almost exclusively in reference to homosexuality.
But I'm not homosexual. It's worse.
