As the title says, today I managed to call my friend and basically have my coming out. As expected he was basically like “nice. Got a new name or something I have to be careful about?” (I currently havent decided on anything yet) The talk felt good and it devinetively helped a little bit with the hate for myself and I no longer feel absolutely terrible all the time. I still feel kinda terrible due to the feeling of having a hole ripped in my chest, but it devinetively got better after that.
Here’s hoping everyone else you come out to will have a similar reaction. Don’t let them get you down if they do not; it’s their failure, not yours.
Im not that worried about this that much. My other friends will accept it with ease. They will probably make a shit ton of jokes about it, but tbf I would do too. My family shouldn’t be that hard too. The biggest problem I have will be getting the courage to implement who I Am into every day life and having to “out” myself to all those groups of people that I know, but dont know that good, that I would be able to talk about a lot of the intimate details. Its not that I will face backlash from those persons (at least not from those where I would actually mind having to cut them off), but me being to scared to actually change something.
