    Since I started posting here, I've come out to 4 people!
    3 of them today alone. It was terrifying, but it felt so good afterwards. They were all super supportive and friendly about it, and asked me questions not out of judgement, but curiousity.
    It felt really nice finally having someone to talk to in person about what's been bothering me, and no longer feel like nobody my country knows the real me.
    It also felt good to have someone to talk it over with, as there's a lot of issues and insecurities that's been bubbling under my surface because of it.

    All in all, I feel really relieved and happy! :icon_bigg (!)

    I guess the next step would be to buy a rainbow bracelet and dare to wear one in public. At least, that's the next step for me.

    Just wanted to share this positive experience with y'all :slight_smile:

    Congratulations!
    Just a tip, right before I come out to someone I like to read/watch positive coming-out stories. You know, the ones that are kinda emotional and really cute/funny?
    It hypes me up in a way and makes me feel good about what I'm about to do.
    Good luck coming out to more people in the future! ^_^
