    Congratulations! It's interesting how a coming out can come about, but I'm glad to read that it seems to have gone well, and that it has provided you with some relief. :slight_smile:

    Do you have other friends to whom you could come out to, or feel that they would be accepting/supportive? Building up your support network could help you in becoming even more comfortable with who you are, and increase the sense that things are going in the right direction for you.

    Congratulations on your first coming out! Like Mirko said, are there any other people you could come out to? If you are in school, does your school have a GSA or something of the kind? But it's the end of the summer. Are there any LGBT centers in your area?

    If you google around, you should be able to find LGBT centers. Also, congratulations on deciding to tell your family.
