I have no feelings whatsoever

So i got home like 30 minutes ago and was just talking about how im supposed to help her with my siblings this weekend and just randomly i decided to tell her i was gay. it took quite a bit to say it (no tears or anything) but i finally did and she was like "ok...that's cool" (im paraphrasing)
I dont feel better really. Or worse. Just meh
Is that good?

Maybe she already knew? Would you rather have had a huge scene?

 

[jJoEd77]

oh jeez yeah its my mother lol
life just feels so weird. its hard to concentrate....

and im not saying i wish there was a scene, im saying that i thought i was supposed to feel happier or relieved or something more exciting than "meh"

Yeah, it's not unusual to feel numb after coming out to someone. That's pretty much how I felt the frist time I came out to anyone.

Congrats on taking that step.

When I told my mom I liked guys she burst into tears and told me it would change my life forever and that I should like girls. I was kind of angry because I felt like I didn't ''choose'' this. Ya know? Like I just woke up one day and was like hey I want to piss my mom off so I'll start liking guys and give up having kids! I didn't know what to say so I just told her it was a ''phase''. She still tries to hook me up with girls and I get so pissed off and don't say anything. She said she understood but whenever she sees me do something ''gay'' she acts like I have the plague. It is so frustrating

The important point is that you got it out there. Now you don't have to go through that again.

It's pretty much up to you at this point how much more you want to say. But at least you know you can be honest if you have anything you really want to say, like when you have a boyfriend or someone special you want your mom to know about...
