alright, so i just unexpectedly told me mom. like, she was talking about how hanging out with gay people was gonna make people think i was gay and i said "i have been "gay" forever" implying people have been making fun of it. but eventually i was just like, "i like boys.. and girls." and she was all "pssh don't know why you didn't tell me earlier everyone knows." so i guess thats good, but i still feel like vomiting.
it is good. and i feel a lot less like i am going to throw up. i think i was all vomity because i really didn't expect to do it?
I actually understand the "I feel like I'm going to vomit because I totally wasn't expecting that." The only person I ever mildly came out to asked me what was wrong and I told her i wasn't ready to talk about it. I asked her and she said... um well I'm sort of questioning if I'm bi. I said, uhm uh yeah me too even though I knew I was a lesbian then. I don't count it because she doesn't really know anything about it and her experiences are totally different from mine... but anyway, congratulations! Think of it this way, some people take their whole lives to come out to their parents and then spend the rest of their lives trying to repair the damage from it... you just did that without too much pain and it's done! Way to go!
well, i'm glad that it went well! and, i hope that you feel better, and I know what you mean about feeling as though you're going to throw up (*hug*)
hmm i dont think ppl understand...it didnt go as well as u wanted...its not easy coming out before your ready. you have to accept it yourself before you can let other people in. I know its hard but just keep talking to people. Find a really good friend and just...confide in them..
Congrats on the coming out. It was probably cause your mom already had the idea, but I can understand why you feel sick. Good luck with the rest of it.
yay! glad that went well!!! must be like ripping of a plaster - just have to do it quickly... in some cases that is,.. why didnt you tell her before?
Congratulations! I know what you mean with the throwing up thing, but at least your mom didn't freak out and take a Bible to ya, right?
yeah. in retrospect i guess i am glad it happened. it's something i don't have to worry about doing later. i think i was just sick because it was soo surprising, and i totally didn't expect to tell her then and there. i know i had accepted it, i just wasn't ready to let her in. i didn't tell her before because like i said i just wasn't ready. while i know i can trust my mom, i really don't talk to her much and i'm not exactly close to her, but i mean, we get along? i dunno. but its all good!
That rather made me laugh. I've also heard that several mothers would prefer a gay son, but I'm not quite sure if that's entirely true.
It may not happen the way we hope, or the way we plan, but if it comes off well, that's all you can really hope for. Lex
