I have felt surprisingly comfortable for the past week with saying/thinking/accepting the words which I have forced myself to never believe. I don't know when it will happen, and if the stars do not align it might not happen for awhile; however I feel that I am ready to come out almost immediately if a few more things happen. It is a dull excitement with a very minor twinge of grieving, combined with a baby opening their eyes for the first time kinda feeling...
Hi there! It's great that you feel that comfortable feeling of being ready to embrace your sexual identity, and speaking to others about it. Coming out can definitely bring a mixture of feelings but if you can already feel that all important excitement and perhaps ease, it is really just a matter of time then. Pad yourself on your shoulder for having reached this point.
Good Luck!!!! I came out to everybody on my list within a couple days. It went by fast and its been amazing.
For me it was like The Wizard of Oz when the film went from black & white to color. Everything was the same but completely different. Congratulations and good luck!
You are just experiencing the normal feeling of accepting yourself and as time goes on you will find that this feeling will get more positive. It's fantastic that you have started to realise and accept yourself, Congratulations :eusa_clap
Great! It feels great coming out, even if its to only one person. It's like a burden has been lifted off your chest.
I'm not sure what is the biggest rush, telling a trusted friend for the first time, or just saying it out loud to yourself. It was like the Helen Keller at the pump scene from "The Miracle Worker" (look it up on YouTube if you're too young to remember the movie!).
Best of luck, it's an important stage & Mile Stone to reach, I haven't looked back since coming out to Myself (*hug*)(*hug*)(*hug*)
Yay Good luck to you DragonBoy! Actually, no luck for you, I wish courage upon you and acceptance (or tolerance) by everybody!!
