    HI! :icon_bigg
    I'm slightly drunk so forgive me if this post is weird... but i just came out to one of my close friends!
    Me and some other friends were on a night out, it was a GREAT night, and afterwards me and this close friend were on our bikes back home when the topic about being gay and one of her other friends who was gay came up. So I was like (forgive my language) "fuck this, I'm just going to tell her" and told her just before we arrived at her place.
    At first she didn't believe me, she thought I was joking, so I had to assure her I wasn't. Then I went in with her to talk about pretty much everything that had to do with it. She's still quite confused about it, but she's totally fine with it :icon_bigg Couldn't wish for a better response. One down, plenty more to go!

    Also: big thanks to Filip for the individual support he gave me. In case you read this: Filip, bedankt!! :icon_bigg
    (If I read this back tomorrow I'm sure there's so much to fix but for now it's all I want to say :grin:)

    Thanks for the reactions :icon_bigg It feels great indeed! Doing it sober will be the next step, but I hope/think that, from now on, it'll be easier to tell :wink:

    Okay, I was a bit busy on family matters over Easter, so I'm late to that party, but: Congrats!! The first one usually is the hardest, so it's only getting easier from here on!

    Thanks guys! I think I'll use this thread to keep track of my story... and it's time for an update!

    I celebrated my birthday tonight and at one point I was outside smoking and talking to a friend, he asked me if there was any girl I liked, I said no and he was like "I think you and X would be great together", so I asked if I could tell him something... and I came out to him as gay. No problem at all, he even talked about his own story wondering, after his divorce, if he was gay himself. It went great! :icon_bigg So that's the second friend I came out to :grin: Still a bunch to go but it's progression! :icon_bigg
