I'm 23 from VA but currently residing in FL. I've always known that I liked females but recently came out to my family. I don't think i did it right. I don't know if there is a right or wrong way to come out but it just didn't feel right. I still feel closeted within myself. i'm just hoping that I find some answers somewhere.
Hello and Welcome to EC!! It normal to feel a bit off after coming out. You just reveled a big part of yourself, so you are going to feel odd for a bit.
Hiya! I recently came out too! It's a weird feeling, relief conflicting with anxiety, you'll get used to it.
Welcome to EC! I'm not sure there is an easy way to come out to your parents, especially when you're from the south. I live in the south as well, and I doubt I'll ever find the courage to tell my mom. We live under the Bible Belt, and people tend to be more close-minded here.
