I came out to two more people today, one of them being one of my best friends But my stepmom almost found out in the process of telling her though :eek: I felt like I was going to have a heart attack! Why is it so hard to just tell her?! How did other people come out to their parents or guardians? I'm having trouble...
well good on you for coming out, your friends will, hopefully, help you as you move on your journey. as for your mom, maybe some situational awareness (IE: making sure who is in hear shot) when your sharing secrets.
All my Friends know I'm Bi I told my younger brother last week and had a panic attack I told my mother a year ago I don't think she believed me my older brother and two sisters do not know and my step father is a homophobic when it comes to telling my family I get scared of how they would react
Well I was texting it to my friend, but my mom had figured out that I had my phone when I was supposed to be studying. So I deleted the messages and brought it upstairs in my room...a couple minutes later I hears my mom go in my room and look at my phone and I was just hoping and praying that my friend wouldn't text anything and she didn't thankfully. So it's not like I was talking to my froend while my mom was in the other room. She usually doesn't tell me to put my phone away :/ ---------- Post added 27th Apr 2014 at 05:20 AM ---------- Same! Which is why I made this thread to see how other people did it, so that maybe I can try that :/ P.S. How did your little brother react to it? Was he cool? And it sucks when parents don't believe you or are homophobic...my stepmom is pretty religious, so that scares the hell out of me :/
Until now I told it three people. My mom, my dad and my best friend (and she did tell her boyfriend with my permission). I came out to my mom while watching tv. Just thought 'why not now?' and said 'hey mom! You know? I like girls'. To my dad while he just came in my room and I got the same thought 'why not now' cause I thought he did see EC on my computer. I said 'I think you already know it' and mumbled sth that sounded like 'I like girls'. Nope, he didn't assume this. Well, to my best friend on the phone. 'I have to say you sth.....'. But it always felt as I would get a heartattack so you're not alone
yes i can see how that would give you a fright, funny thing about text, email, etc. it never seems to really go away.... good luck hope it all works out when you tell your family.(*hug*) ---------- Post added 27th Apr 2014 at 10:54 PM ---------- best of both, it's great that your brother is cool with you.
