    So, I just did it. I just told the first person that I know in real life that I like girls. He's a friend I knew in high school, and rarely hang out with anymore. We've been slowly drifting apart, but I trust him to keep this a secret until I'm ready.

    It went like this:

    me (after 20 minutes of sweaty palms): I think I like girls
    him: I think I already knew that

    Good start!

    THE BALL HAS BEGUN ROLLING! (!)

    Thanks! It feels incredibly relieving to know that it's not just me and my thoughts anymore! Good luck to you, my friend!

    Thanks everyone!! It felt so different waking up this morning and being like "it's not just me who knows anymore". Different, but really good!

    Hahaha, yeah, I was hoping for that kind of reaction from him! Afterwards he was like "now that I think about it, you've only ever talked about GIRLS who looked good, and not guys"
