So Stressful

hey well done with finding the courage.... something im still trying to do... but yer thats reli good!!!!!!
hope u feel less stressed now

 

Well done!

I remember coming out to my best friend the same way, although stupidly did it at night so was hyperventilating for hours. Glad he was so supportive

 

Just re-read my post, it seems I'm selfishly talking about my friend being supportive, I'm not, I was talking about yours

I remember being very nervous about seeing my friend face to face, and the fact that when I next saw him was with a group of people who didn't know didn't help. He only really brought it up when I forced him too, I hope it goes more smoothly for you

 

That's great! The first step is the hardest.

 

First step is always the hardest So congratulations/well done, and just remember, go at your own pace, never feel pressured =D

 

Congrats !!
Coming out is always stressful at first, it'll be like that maybe the 3 or 4 next times you come out (esp your parents) then it gets more and more natural.

 

Congratz!!
And I know what you mean by stressful, in my last coming out, I spent ages just staring at the screen on the phone before clicking 'send' and my heart was thumping like crazy!!
Glad he's supportive.

 

Congratulations!(!) (!) (!)
That is so awesome that he supports you!
I'm so happy that it worked out for you. (*hug*)

 

Congrats, well done. :icon_bigg

I love (and miss) Wellington! There are some great people there.

 

Congrats!!!

 

I came out to my best friend via Yahoo and it was so surreal when all I had to do was press 'enter' or 'send'.. time felt like it actually had weight and it kept getting heavier.. but I cornered myself in on purpose so I knew I had to tell him.
I can't say he was supportive...... but.. he wasn't unsupportive. He's supportive now though.

Goodjob
Also, I didn't feel a 'high' either.. XD itisonly1personafterall

 

Congratulations!

I first came out to my friend on AIM. The second on Facebook (in a PM, not his wall). The third was a teacher over email. And the fourth was over AIM again. Each time I told someone, it was really difficult to just hit the "Enter" button to send what I wanted to say. I knew that I had to do it, but just couldn't get myself to. But I did persuade myself to.

I didn't feel a "high." I felt really relieved, but then started feeling kinda depressed, and 3 weeks later, still kinda do, but not anything major.

But still....good job on #1!

 

I came out to a close friend over IRC. I threw out a few hints, such as "*Z is ticked off because Apple doesn't support her G3*" in the main chat (Im transexual, but for a while there I left gender blank). He figured it out, and had to lie down for a moment, but he was okay.
The second one was to another friend, this time I had a second account as a "sock-puppet". After he accepted the sock puppet, I told him the truth. Both times gave me a bit of a nervous sensation. That same friend came out to me thirty minutes later.

 

I don't think you should tell them unless you feel very comfortable with it. I was kinda in a similar situation, where I wanted to tell someone, but didn't know how they would react. For some reason, I hang out in the front office at my school. And one of the ladies working there (with whom I'm friends) sensed something was wrong, and asked me what was up. I told her I didn't want to talk about it (wrong answer) and then the guessing game started! I really wanted to tell her. I mean, I know she would be very supportive, but I just don't want the front office to know, cuz one person there is all into gossip. Luckily a student came in before the game went too far!

But to nickmc, just wait until the right moment, or if it is just killing you inside!

 

Yay! That is SO great! Congrats!
