Hi,
I thought I would post my coming out story quite quickly, in the hope to help people who have yet to do so. Im a gay guy just to let you know
2 months ago, the thought of coming out to the people closest to me scared the hell out of me. I did everything possible to make sure my secret was hidden, and I would have to tell so many lies and stories to sound straight. Noone was aware of my secret and I felt it was the only way to grow up; to pretend to be someone I was not.
About a month ago, I woke up one day as normal and went out with one of my closest friends, a girl. And we had a laugh as normal and I felt so comfortable with her, that I was almost scared she would think I fancied her. But I didn't want that, I wanted her to know I liked her for her as a friend... So I told her I had a secret and to make it easier for me I asked her to guess. She guessed I was gay strait away and it was such a relief. It felt weird at first, but I felt a huge a lift off my chest straight way.
Over the period of the last month I have slowly told each person closest to me one by one and it has felt amazing. Most of my friends are girls so it was relief from them and my relationships with all my friends have grown so much.
And considering 2 months ago the thought of coming out was so scary and now Im completely happy with it and the thought of anyone knowing is amazing.
But anyway to sum up my story, I'd like to say this.
Only come out when you feel the moment that you are ready. Tell the people closest to you, who you know will love you for it. And to everyone worried about it, it was the best thing I think I have ever done.
I'm not saying that everyone will be ok with it, but I can assure you that you will make more friends than enemies.
Don't be scared, But do it when the moment feels right.
You were born this way
