Hi everyone. I'm a gay college senior, out to my mom and a very small number of friends. I feel like being in the closet cost me a lot of experiences my first 3 years in college, and I would like to come out to more people but I'm not sure where to begin. Coming out to my mom (at the beginning of this year) was planned, because I realized I couldn't keep this to myself any longer. I got a positive reaction (apparently she knew already?!), but I still find it very hard to think through what I would say to even close friends who don't know I'm gay. Here to talk and give/receive support.
Welcome!, Generally you're friends (unless actual homophobes) will either not care or support you . Also she might have found out from you're browsing history :roflmao:. In all serious good luck and I hope everything works out for you!
Welcome to EC! Hope you enjoy your stay in the forums and you'll get the advice you need. Good luck in your last year of college as well!
Welcome to EC! All of life is a coming out process IMO. There will be some key relationships that will make you nervous as you approach them. Open and honest. The only way. The ones that loved me before, kept on loving me. The others, well, they just haven't learned how to love themselves.
Welcome. I wish I could have been more clear when I was younger and realized the feelings would not go away.
Hi and welcome You'll have more experiences than me so enjoy them! (sadly, I only came out the year after graduating)
