So after being on EC for a few weeks and getting advice from everyone, I decided that it was time for me to finally come out on Facebook. I started by telling two of my closest friends yesterday and asking them how I should come out. Apparently some people already though that I was bi so that also made it a little easier to fully come out. This morning I posted a status update saying "I know that I've already told some of you about this, but I think it's time for me to tell everyone else so I don't have to worry about it any longer. As some of you may suspect, I am bi (not gay, there is a difference) and I hope that no one will be against it. " and I am anxious about what people will say about it. I still have to come out to my parents but I don't think I will do that for a long time. Thanks for all the support everyone! (!)
Hello Alex, and congratulations on coming out thru Facebook. Keep us updated how that turns out for you.
congrats! You will probably be nervous for a while, until that first person comments or likes the status.
UPDATE: After I posted my status update I got a notification that someone had commented on it, however I was too nervous to see what he had said. So about 15 minutes later I went back to see his comment and found out that it was removed by him. I guess it was better for me not to see the comment after all.
Well after posting the status update this morning I have had no likes or comments yet, maybe I'll get some tomorrow, I'm not too concerned about it.
Some people might choose to approach you face to face if they have anything to say about it. Some people, if they are accepting might not even mention it.. which is technically what I hope it will be like in the future for LGBTQ because it will be seen as more normal than it is today. Congrats though.
