    I find that since I came out at school, I have an amazing social confidence that I've never felt before.

    Anyone else get this?

    I experienced a dramatic confidence boost in general, so yes. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    I think I know what you mean. I haven't come out to anyone outside this site, but somehow after recently admitting it to myself I felt better today than I ever have. I wasn't worried about all the little things, like having conversations with random people! :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    I felt the same way. Mostly cause I didn't have the stress of having to hide it or wondering if I was actually fooling anyone.

    I haven't said anything to anyone yet, but I'm starting to accept myself the way I am, so without worrying about internal struggles I've become a lot more social and happy than I used to. If I do end up saying anything I'll probably be even more confident. :grin: It's a little weird since this has never happened, but I love feeling this way!

    Definitely! I used to have a hunch, but now I stride with pride. I feel much more confident talking to people, and I've made a lot more friends.

    I definitely feel a lot better. I'm still in the process of coming out to all though.

    Yeah I feel a lot better about myself and more comfortable with myself, so I've found I want to be more social and talk to others more.
