    So I told my friend my tumblr page which is essentially coming out to him since I have a few pictures of shirtless guys on my page and he hasn't replied to my texts or anything since then. He wanted to follow me and he hasn't. I'm very nervous. He isn't at all a close friend or anything and I don't know why I told him my page. He said he wouldn't say anyone but this was before he found out I was gay. I'm really worried that he won't keep his secret and that tomorrow everyone will know. I'm not ready for that kind of ridicule. : / Do you guys think I'm being a little dramatic about all of this?

    I think, you need to look at this one step at a time. Unfortunately, Its quite hard to tell what his response is. It is important to remember he could have gotten busy and thats why he hasn't replied. However, prepare yourself for tomorrow. IF people know, then... they know. Unfortunately there won't be much you can do to change that. But, that is when you have to find your strength. You CAN survive whatever it is they throw at you...

    Look at this picture. Read it. Then realize, you are so much more than words that someone can throw at you. You have so much strength inside of you, prove to yourself how much bigger you are than the people that throw the ridicule your way.

    And remember, it might not even be that bad :slight_smile: But if it is... you have everyone here as a support network.

    I had something similar happen to me. I told a friend that I joined tumblr. She asked for my url. I gave it to her. She followed me and I followed her back. A few days later she stopped following me. I guess she didn't like some of the lesbian photos I posted (I don't post nudes or porn). I ended up asking her about it. She said she was cool with me being a lesbian, but she didn't want to see girls making out on her dashboard.

    I'd say text your friend and tell him that it's totally cool if he doesn't want to follow your blog, but you would appreciate it if he didn't share the content of your blog with other people.
