    Last night I told one of my bests friends that I was Bi, more into guys. We talked and she said she was having trouble processing it. Im scared im going to loose her if I dont say anything. Is there anything I can do or say to her to help me process this easier? it also is harder on her because she likes likes me :frowning2:

    Not really, no. Just let her know you DO think she's a great person, and tell her you're more than willing to answer any questions she might have.

    Try letting her know you'll back off until SHE is ready to come to you.

    I agree with above, give her some space.

    BUT - drill it into her head "im still the same person" and "i care about our friendship so much" and "this is not a big deal" and "you can take your time to process this" and such :slight_smile: Give her some little reminders like this that you will fight to keep her friendship, as you should.

    I've had the same thing happen to me. But after letting my friend have time to think about what I had said, once it sank in things with her were ok. And ever since then things have been great between us. (!)

    There really isn't anything you can say to a person to make them understand or process the info. When my best friend came out to me i was a little shaken but after a day or two i got over it. Maybe she will be the same, but try giving her some time to think. Anyway good luck and welcome!

    very true :slight_smile:
    don't worry about it, she may just take time to get used to it, but it'll settle out eventually, just tell her how you feel :slight_smile:
