I just came out to a friend

I haven`t really told anyone about my sexuality, so i decided that it probably would make me feel better if i told someone and had someone i could talk to about it, so i decided to tell a friend of mine. I know she would never have anything against me or look at me differently, so i figured she is a great person to tell.

It was actually harder than i thought. I thought about it a lot before i even dared to open my mouth. I felt really anxious and nervous. I didn`t really know how i should tell it to her.

So i just told her i had to tell her something. she said ok and waited for me to continue. I paused a bit before i just said "I don`t even know how to do this, how do you even come out of the closet?" And she went completely silent. I was so nervous i swear i could have exploded, but i just continued talking since she didnt say anything. I told her i am shure i am not straight. I told her i`m bi, or that i could be lesbian for all i know and that she is the first person i have ever told this to.

It felt akward, but she said she didn`t have anything against it, and she even made a couple jokes and we talked about being gay and such. She asked me some questions about how i knew and such and i told her about it. It was also nice to talk to her about how i`m not shure what i should tell my parents and such.

I feel pretty good right now, but i`m still a little bit shaky. This whole coming out of the closet thing is actually harder and more scary than i could have ever imagined.

Just thought i would share this because i am pretty happy i finally told someone about it
