    Hi guys, sorry for not introducing myself before.. long time reader and just signed up to say that I just texted my 7-year best friend that I am gay and it was really unpredictable.

    She calmed me a bit but I'm still SHAKING AS HELL !!!

    We will talk in half an hour and I'll post an update.. for now I think I'll just stare into the wall of my bedroom forever :eek: hehe

    Can't believe I just did this !

    Hi and welcome to ec

    Well done,it takes a lot of courage to come out for the first time.Hope all goes well later.

    At least you can update your wall from "not out at all" after you have managed to calm down from that high you got from coming out.

    Good luck

    Hi there, and welcome to Empty Closets!

    You have taken a big step, and at times it can be bit of a 'shock' and take a day or so to sink in. Congratulations on coming out to your best friend. I'm sure as time passes you'll start feeling relieved and be yourself, even more so. :slight_smile:

    Congrats! You're on the right track! When I came out to my best friend a series of yellow jackets kept interrupting me, I spent the better part of an hour fighting them off and trying to stammer out my story. So enjoy the excitement, I'll bet it'll keep being exciting for a while :slight_smile:

    Congratulations! I so wish I could build up the courage to do the same. The thought terrifies me! But although I do not even know you, I am proud of you. Well done!
