-other than my best friend of 8 years who is bi, and my best guy friend of 9 years who is ALSO bi.... I'm about to tell a guy friend that I'm gay. I'm actually doing this right now..and I'll let you know how it goes as it happens. I'm actually very scared even though I could be okay if he ended up being judgmental. ...So..here goes.. Me: C...That thing...that's been ....bothering me and upsetting me, is this: I...like girls... Edit: Sorry, meant to make the title "First time coming out to a 'straight' friend." ---------- Post added 29th Oct 2011 at 08:13 PM ---------- [ *send text * ] ---------- Post added 29th Oct 2011 at 08:20 PM ---------- [ *text message reply*] -open- Him: Me too. hah.... ... Now I feel silly that it was so difficult..:bang:
Yeah. The first one's always the hardest. You never know what to expect, so your mind comes up with the weirdest possibilites. Congrats on coming out
Thanks! I had anticipated a longer conversation with him; questions or something. But we moved on pretty fast to football :lol: ---------- Post added 29th Oct 2011 at 08:54 PM ---------- Does it generally get easier to come out to friends with practice? I felt pretty paranoid x.x I'm glad he reacted well- yay positive reinforcement.
Believing that it would be more difficult than it turns out to be is totally rational, because we can't always be 100% sure of a good outcome. Congrats on coming out!
