    my friend posted on instagram said she has no lesbian friends and feels alone. I typed a message telling her that I'm a lesbian but now I'm too scared to send it. I know she would be happy if she knew but I'm still nervous. I try to send it and then I don't do its just sitting there lol

    As weird as it sounds just shut off your brain and send it. I have this same problem fairly often and that's the advice my friend always gives me, it does work. It usually feels pretty good afterwards as well.

    She just found out that you're a lesbian so it's likely going to take her some time to process it. I don't know the specifics of your relationship with her, but it's possible she has feelings for you and she's processing the fact that she can possibly act on them now.

    I don't know if she got the message because she still hasn't replied. if she deleted our earlier conversation off of her direct message on instagram, would she still see the message I sent her? I didn't delete our conversation yet but maybe she did so she doesn't get my messages anymore from that conversation. Does that make sense? It isn't like her to take so long to reply

    I noticed on your other thread you said she was active on twitter so maybe you could try getting in touch with her that way.

    To be fair I think after this long you can resend it and ask if she got it. Or at least just ask if she got your message.

    Are you sure that she uses instagram regularly? Maybe she is taking a bit longer to send the message because she wants to give you a thoughtful response. Next time you see her, you could just briefly pull her aside and ask, "Hey, did you get my message on instagram?"

    she's been posting on instagram today so she uses it pretty regularly. I sent her another message asking if she got the one from yesterday and she didn't respond to that either so she's ignoring me. I don't know why but I don't really care anymore lol I was so worried about telling her and then she doesn't even respond so I'm not going to worry about it anymore.

    it sucks that you got that response! maybe she did it purposefully to see what responses she got (if any). At least you know what kind of friend you have.
