I told my best friend I'm gay! I've been agonizing over this for a couple weeks now, and I had been waiting for the right moment to bring it up, and it just never came. So today I decided that there probably wasn't a 'right moment' and that I just needed to say it, so while I was in the car with my best friend, I just said it. I knew he was going to be accepting, and that wasn't what made me anxious, but i was curious to see if it was expected or not. He said that he never suspected a thing. He asked me how long I knew, and I told him (less than a year, like, 9 months or so?). We talked a tiny bit about it, but then we just went back to our normal conversations. There was definitely a lot of silence, but it wasn't bad, just a little tense I guess. God, I'm such a mix of emotions right now. I want to cry, my nerves are going crazy, but I'm happy as hell right now (!) I'm still nervous about coming out to more people, but this is one down.
wow! yeah!!! I came out tonight to a friend who is 1st religious person ever...and he is a priest. So we had a good night. High 5! Telling our friends the truth is what will make us free.
@Deaf Not Blind That must have been interesting. I hope it worked out okay. I told my youth worker, a southern baptist, and she was cool with it. Said it's who I am. But congrats to you too! A person is a person.
Congrats. So happy for you right now... I've recently came out myself so I know the feeling you get when you do. Is amazing that you took that first step to rest of your life Definitely calls for dancing bananas (!)(!)(!)(!)(!!)(!!)(!!):thewave::thewave!)(!)(!)(!)(!)
Congratulations! I came out to my best friend in February and it was the biggest relief!!! Don't worry about telling others, that will begin to come naturally. I still struggle letting some know, but for my core group of friends, they all know and are supportive of me!! (!) TB
It's weird. Sometimes I'm not ever sure I believe I actually told him. But the idea of coming out completely is starting to feel less frightening. As much as I'm still nervous to come out to anyone else, and I know it'll take a little time to do, I'm looking forward to it. Thank you guys
