Well, I finally did it. After months of wanting to, I did it. I'd been dropping hints for awhile, then finally my friend just asked me. I couldn't actually say "I'm gay," all I could manage was "I'm into dudes." Ha! But she was really good about it. I couldn't have asked for a better reaction, especially the first time around. I know lot of people say they feel relieved after they tell someone, but I dunno how I feel. Right after it felt like I was feeling every emotion at once... it was pretty intense. But now I dunno how I feel. Normal? Maybe it just takes time to sink in. I'm pretty stoked about it all though.
Sometimes it might take a few days to sink in. On the day when I came out to my counselor, I had the same feelings for a few hours. But once that passed, I started feeling relieved. Congratulations on coming out to your friend!
Congratulations! It's no wonder you felt kind of strange... your first coming out is a really big step. It's pretty common to feel so many different emotions. I'm glad it went so well for you. Again, congratulations!
Everybody gets different emotions after they come out, or a while after, especially the first time. Well done! It gets easier with each one
Yeah, I'm feeling pretty good now. It sounds really corny, but I'm feeling happy in a way I've never felt it before. It's pretty rad.
