Two Good Things Number One: I have decided that, for the time being at least, I identify as a bisexual. Yay! I'm now like 89.5% certain and only 10.5% confused! Number Two: Today, I decided to come out to my best friend in the whole entire world. I really wanted to tell her over the phone (I would have done it in person, but she lives across the country). I decided to text her instead for two reasons. One, my roommate has decided to move her computer into our shared living space, which is fine, but my door does not shut properly and thus, I couldn't say it out loud without her knowing. And two, I'm prone to bursting into tears when conversations of any nature get intense. Here's how the texting went: Me: I want to tell you something. It's a secret. Her: Ok! Is this what you were wanting to tell me earlier? Do tell. Me: Arg. This is so incredibly difficult. Her: Aw mang! What is up? To do with a boy? Me: Not exactly... Her: A girl...? Me: I think I'm bisexual. In fact, I'm pretty darn sure of it. Her: Neat! Hahaha. I don't know if that's an appropriate response. So do you have a mad crush on a girl? Me: Yeah. Well, I did. But she's straight. Her: Aw man. That sucks! Found out the guy I liked is gay. We're in the same boat! Me: LOL. I don't think I need to tell you this, but don't tell anyone, kay? Her: Your secret is safe with moi! It's nice that it wasn't a big deal. We totally have to catch up when she comes to visit in February. Thanks EC. You helped wipe the confused condensation from the foggy mirror that is my hot sexuality shower. (You can just tell I'm great with metaphors, right? :icon_wink)
That's great. The only time I have ever actually said the words I'm bi is in a text and it went just as well (the other times I came out someone asked me, and I answered).
congrats. i think the part where she says that she found out that the guy she liked is gay and that youre in the same boat is funny and nice. it made me smile
It took me about three hours of agony to tell my best friend that I don't think I'm entirely straight, and I couldn't even say it out loud; I had to write it down on a piece of paper. It seems like your friend reacted a lot more nicely and openly than mine too. Again, congrats! Maybe eventually I'll get out of my foggy confusion one day too.
