So I finally did it. I came out to one of my best friends last night. Granted it was via instant message online, but it was still terrifying. It feels a bit surreal, I don't feel like anything has changed, or any great weight has come off my shoulders. If anything I feel more anxious about it than before.
My friend was totally cool with it. He didn't believe me at first, partly because I don't come off as sterotypically gay, and partly because I always mess with him so he takes everything I say with a grain of salt. After I repeated myself a couple of times he said ok, then we just started talking as usual. I guess I can't truly gauge his real feeling with it because we're only talking over the internet.
Anyway step two will be telling my best friend and roommate, which is an even scarier prospect because it will be face to face.
ANXIETY. That is all.
