First I told one of my best friends, who will remain as 'E.' I was staying up late texting her. We were talking about something that sort of related to what I wanted to tell her. I did the obvious thing and told her that I wanted to tell her something. I asked her to try and guess what I wanted to say, since I could not right out tell her. (I have severe social paranoia.) She ended up giving up after about an hour and a half. I finally gave her a hint, and she ended up getting it right away. I responded with a (Don't hate me please!) which made her mad at me. She was offended that I could ever doubt trusting her with anything. xD She then went on, trying to understand a bit better. I can't tell you how relieved and happy I was.. Second, I told one of my friends, who will remain as 'A.' I was taking a walk with her through the neighborhood, as we often do when it gets dark. We started talking about more depressing things, and I started getting nervous, since I wanted to tell her about this. I guess I started hyperventilating, because she asked me if everything was okay. (Our faces were covered by our hoods- for safety reasons, and just good fun.) I told her that I wanted to tell her something, but I couldn't. She proceeded to tell me (for quite a while) how she would always love me no matter what and that she would never disown me as a friend. (I had asked her not to, since I was feeling pretty pessimistic.) We were almost home when she asked the question that revealed it. She asked: "Wait... You're not a guy, right?" (While she meant physically, I saw it as an opportunity to finally get it out.) I told her, no, I was not a guy. At least, not physically. She caught on quick... And... Was completely fine with it! She didn't act awkward around me or anything, which I was glad for. I told my sister this morning, over Facebook chat. (I just couldn't do it in person... And she had lost her phone, so...) She guessed the quickest. As soon as I mentioned it started with a 'T' she guessed. She was completely fine with it as well, and even offered to help me out with my 'coming out' letter for our parents. It was great! She told me that she was forgetful, and that if she ever refers to me as a 'she,' she's really sorry. I told her that it was fine. Well, that's my story so far. All that's left now is: My cousin, 'B' My parents My other friend, 'S' All my other friends All my other family
I'm planning on coming out to my parents tonight. (I really want to get it over with. I'm tired of being stressed out around them.) Gosh, I'm nervous....
Congratulations and good look with your parents! It seems to be that when you tell people to guess (I've experienced this) that when they do, they keep away from the obvious. Being gay is always the last think my friends say...it's so annoying. I'd know instantly that I was gay! Keep us updated!
Congrats on starting your Coming Out process, Smilodon. And good luck with your parents! Yes, keep us posted.
Tell us how it goes, hon! Good luck, I'm glad your sister and the friends you came out to were so supportive. Hugs! <3
Oh it went amazing! When I gave them the letter I ran up to my sister's room and hid, but I made a big deal out of nothing. We didn't really talk about it (Which I'll do later- I've had enough stress for one day.) but they said they loved me and kept hugging me.. Gosh, I'm so relieved! I knew they probably wouldn't hate me, but my mind kind of did. Well, I'm out on my immediate family! I'm getting closer and closer to not being ClosetStuck! :icon_bigg(!):eusa_danc(!)(!)(!)(!)(!)
