I'm not sure this exactly warrants an entire thread buttt I came out to my first RL person last night! WOO! It took three hours, starting with "GUESS WHAT!" until I finally ended up saying the words "I'm gay, you dumbass." (There are circumstances behind the calling out of the dumbassery. ) Up until I actually said it I was TERRIFIED. I didn't even know why. The person I told, quite possibly my best friend, has gay family, gay friends, etc. I knew she wasn't going to care, and yet I had worked myself up so much...for no reason at all. Comparable to a little kid crying before getting a shot, I like to think. Anyway, it was very freeing to be able to say to a real person who I really see everyday the absolute truth. Though I did wake up with morning after regret. I'm confident it will pass! 1 down, countless others to go.
Congrats!! And like Mirko said, the after regret will pass. It sucks but after a few hours(or a day or two) it will fade away.
