    Hmmm....I usually try to take deep breath and go to bathroom when I stress out and that's pretty much what I do...I get nervous but never reached the point where I feel nauseous.

    Good luck with coming out to them!!!!
    I'm wishing the best of luck for you(*hug*)

    I think it's much, much easier to come out one-on-one than in a group situation. Group dynamics can lead to a lot more homophobia and just general stupidity. It's like often people in groups lose whatever small portion of intelligence and compassion they started out with. So I definitely don't advise coming out en masse like that.

    I completely agree with Joey there (he talks a lot of sense).

    With a group, one person will tend to dominate and the others follow - and it's likely that the dominant one will be the least intelligent or compassionate...
     
  6. OH NOEZZZZ. (YA SRSLY.)

    But seriously, I felt like vomiting blood when I first tried to come out to my family. (I didn't that time, but I did eventually.) I could feel my heart beating more heavily and a little more slowly...but that's probably because my family has a history of heart problems.

    Um. Yeah. I agree with the other people.
    Mob-mentality = not good. Especially if you don't have an escape route handy.
