The Phoenix has come out of the Nest(Closet)

I came out!!!

To only one person. A Friend. An Online Friend. Over Skype. By Texting (No Video/Audio).

But in my defence, I've known him since 2007. We've been good friends and chat often, not regularly, but often. He knows a lot about me and I know a lot about him.

He's from Nederland (The Netherlands) and was super supportive. We spoke a lot after I came out to him, but this is the main part.

I feel so happy! (!)

I feel like coming out to more people now! But it's not going to be easy. I'm not sad about it, I know I have to cautious, but it feels great! I'm kicking myself for not coming out to my online friend sooner.

 

Thank you!! (*hug*)

 

Thank you!!

 

Thanks for reminding me. It's done.

Thank you. It is a nice step forward. Hopefully I can take more steps in the near future. *fingers crossed*

 

Thank you. .

I have a few people in mind (Both online/IRL) but I'm being cautious with them. It might take a while longer though.

 

Yes. A tiny part of me questions if I'm Bisexual and/or Asexual. I won't know for sure until I come out, mingle with people, join LGBTQ+ communities/support groups and start dating. . Unfortunately I don't think it will happen in my current environment. It'll take me a year at least before I can move out to a more pro-LGBTQ+ environment, away from the family, where I can do all the above. I'm patient and not too bothered about that anyway. Atleast not right now.

 

Thank you so much!

 

Thank you.

 

It was a mix of both really. I've been feeling really confident about myself concerning my sexuality, I guess that reflected when I logged onto Skype casually. I was chatting with My online friend and felt like coming out to him. So mid-conversation I cut in and came out! .
