    I'm so chuffed right now because I managed to tell another friend (friend B from my last post, if anyone cares lol). It was over msn and I was nervous as hell but I managed it. I wrote out my introductory bit saying there was something I had to tell him, pasted it into my chat box and practically forced myself to press enter, thus sending him it. Once he had that, it basically forced me into telling him :grin: And he took it really well and he was really cool with it. He asked me a few questions and was totally supportive. After a while he just switched topics and we talked about normal stuff that we always do, nothing changed at all. That's two close friends that now know, and it seeems easier to try and tell others. I have one other I want to tell, then I'll assess who and when I should tell next. I couldn't have done this without EC :grin: Thank you

    Well done.

    You know you have a bit of support now,and you have come out twice so it will get easier all the time now.just let people know when YOU feel ready.You will soon feel the need to tell close friends then family.It all seems to come naturaly when the time is right and your ready.

    Congrats! One can be a fluke, but with two, you can safely say it's a pattern! :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:
