    I came out today and it was actually easier than I thought it would would be and it also went better than expected. It turns out that its easy when someone catches you on this site and then they ask you the famed "Is there something you want to tell me?" question. I feel like a huge burden has been lifted off of my shoulders and I can finally be more expressive about my feelings. Now the only real task from here is not telling my parents. I live in a strict christian home and I don't want to feel condemned for the rest of my life. It feels like I'm hiding a big secret from them but in the end, its better to keep it inside than to feel hated the rest of my home life. Anyways, today is going great. Here's hoping nothing goes wrong.

    Also a huge thanks to this site and Quantumreality. Without you guys, none of this would've been possible. Thanks so much

    Hey cooldude25x, Congratulations!:thumbsup: Even though you weren't planning on Coming Out so soon, it sounds like it went very well! Now you finally have someone with whom you can just be your true self around without worrying about hiding your sexuality.:slight_smile:

    Many of us first Come Out to friends and develop a support group around us. It sounds like that is what you've started to do, even if you may not have done it intentionally.

    Yeah. I came out to one of my best friends and she was 100% supportive. Which made it a bit easier and a lot less stressful to talk to some other people about it. BTW you are one of the best and most inspirational people I know. Thank you for being so supportive and offering such great advice, not just to me, but to everyone.
