Yey! I came out to someone!

[yeeeaaahhh]

So, finally after about 10 years of questioning and being confused, I have decided that I am something, that it's not "straight", lol. And, furthermore, I came out to my best friend, and also one of my friends from school. And it feels pretty damn good I must say.
I am not really at the point where I am saying that I am "gay" (the title still scares me at this point) but I know that I am not straight, and that I am too into guys to be bi. I still do have feelings for girls... sometimes, but I am way more into guys. (And why shouldn't I be when they are so damn hot right? Haha).
So yeah, pretty exciting.
And I just felt like I would actually post something, instead of doing what I normally do, which is to come on the site and get off and call it good, lol.
So yeah, yey for me! Haha

That's great! So what were their reactions and stance? Nowhere as bad as you thought right?

Hey there!!!!! Congrats for accepting your own feelings its the first step and I wish you all the best for whats to come.

 

[yeeeaaahhh]

Yeah, they both were like "Well, that's great that you know that about yourself, and we will be friends with you no matter what"
I am kind of afraid of telling my parents though becaues just the other day my mom said while watching Will & Grace, "If I had a child who was gay I would be devestated." So I might hold off on telling them, lol.

Cool. Now you can talk to your friends about hot guys as well as gals. Don't worry about the folks, just get yourself comfortable with the real you first. So good luck with that and welcome to the club!

I love my parents, but never for a single moment did I consider how they would feel when I told them I was gay, because I knew their love for me would supercede any disappointments, and besides, my personal life is mine to live to the fullest and not anyone else's.

Hey, congrats! Admitting to yourself and others that you're something other than straight is a big step

Too right - Yey for you

Look don't try to badge yourself one way or the other - we don't want others to judge us - so why judge yourself. Even if you are using "bi" as a safe halfway house then why not. If you decide later you are just gay then that's cool to.

Either way you have made a big step - well done.

Keep posting

Good for you. Glad you have some great friends. Now... Don't worry about yor parents for now. You don't hve to come out to everyone in your life all at once. Maybe when you meet someone you are dating you can tell them. I told my mom and she was upset at first. She said that she coudn't stand the thought of me having sex with another man. So I asked her if she thought about my brothers having sex! Of course she said no. So I told her that I really didn't think she had any more rigt or reason to think about me doing that either. My mom is pretty cool about things like that and thought about it for just a bit and said I was right and that what I did with my life was my business. Of course she then met my partner and really thinks of him as another son in a lot of ways. My point is, do it when YOU are ready to and give your parents or anyone else for that matter, some time to deal with it. It took you a while to accept it and it will them, too.

I can feel that 'release' too...good for you! That's a good advice, don't label yourself, just let it be.
