I'm gonna fully come out to my 3 most trusted friends tomorrow when I get back from Germany. I'm trans and I want them to know. Any tips for dealing with anxiety? I'm sure they'll be fine with it but I can't stop worrying. My fingers are shaking and making it hard to type just thinking about it.
Dealing with anxiety: Distract yourself (in any way you like) Look up and try some breathing exercises or meditate if you can Look at the positives: You're coming out! To your friends! And you're overcoming your anxiety! They are your friends and they should accept you. (If not it is not the end of the world: Just educate them and explain your feelings) Good luck
Thanks for the tips. Went for a hike to clear my mind. Gonna look up some of those breathing exercises. Thanks
I spoke to him over Xbox. (Mature I know ) and told him I'd (don't know the right word for here.) Realised? I was trans. He just reassured me that he didn't care he could probably tell I was nervous I didn't want to freak him out so I kept repeating myself. I felt like an idiot but I feel a lot better now. Thanks everyone. Especially you rebecca and metal rice. Don't think I could have come to terms and came out to someone so quick without you guys. Thanks so much.
Xbox is a good way to do it, I emailed my mom to come out the second time. And that's great, don't worry about being awkward! And I'm flattered that I actually helped, feel free to talk anytime.
I'm flattered you feel like I actually helped you, I'm glad everything's gone well; and I hope they only keep going up from here.
