    After much debating, I finally built up the courage to come out my friend last night. I was worried he would respond negatively or end up not being trustworthy, but he was very accepting and after an hour we were back on a normal conversation. I don't feel quite so alone on the issue now that he supports me. I had feared today would be awkward because of the conversation, but we ended up watching Airplane and talking about technology without any indication of change. So I'm happy

    :thumbsup: Awesome! I guess I should say 'Happy Coming Out Day'! :icon_wink Sounds like it was well worth it. I'm glad to hear it went well. I'm sure your friendship will continue to grow stronger.

    It's always nice to have someone in your corner. Having someone to talk to, in person especially, helps take the burden of feeling alone off your shoulders. Being able to talk to your friend and vent to him when you're feeling down will help keep your spirits up. It'll also help in building that same courage back up alot easier when you decide to come out to another friend. One step at a time, just enjoy your moment. A great triumph indeed!

    You're strong, you got this! And are doing good! Have faith in your instincts and judgment.
