    I think im going to come out to one of my friends on facebook. I don't know where I got this confidence from all of a sudden, but I better do it now that I have it. We have known each other for 6 years, but we only talk on facebook anymore since we went to college. If she takes it the wrong way we'll just never talk again on facebook. I won't even care i guess.
    I want to thank Emptyclosets. Even though I haven't been on here for too long, it has helped me feel better about myself. (!)

    So, yeah, let's go on facebook I guess

    Good luck! :slight_smile: Just telling one person can bring you SO much relief! I hope she takes it well, for your sake.

    You're welcome! That's awesome that she took it well. I'm so happy to hear that! :slight_smile: I find that you feel more and more relieved with each person that you tell, too.

    Congratulations and hugs on your accomplishment. Just paved a similar path a few months ago with an old friend through f/b. Picked up the phone to follow up - fill in the blanks with someone I had not spoken with in over 20 years.

    EC is a wonderful place for so many, be well - J
