I came out!!! To only one person. A Friend. An Online Friend. Over Skype. By Texting (No Video/Audio). But in my defence, I've known him since 2007. We've been good friends and chat often, not regularly, but often. He knows a lot about me and I know a lot about him. He's from Nederland (The Netherlands) and was super supportive. We spoke a lot after I came out to him, but this is the main part. I feel so happy! (!) I feel like coming out to more people now! But it's not going to be easy. I'm not sad about it, I know I have to cautious, but it feels great! I'm kicking myself for not coming out to my online friend sooner.
Congratulations (!!) Coming out to others definitely lessens the burden of our secret and helps us feel better about ourselves. Time to update your Out Status: under your avatar
Thanks for reminding me. It's done. Thank you. It is a nice step forward. Hopefully I can take more steps in the near future. *fingers crossed*
Woah, that's so amazing and brave of you! Congrats on coming out of the nest! Do you have plans on telling anyone else online or in real time?
Thank you. . I have a few people in mind (Both online/IRL) but I'm being cautious with them. It might take a while longer though.
Congratulations. I know it is great to come out to people. Well good luck in your future. One question. Are you sure your gay because I see in Your 'Orientation:' That your questionning? Good Luck, Gay1234
Yes. A tiny part of me questions if I'm Bisexual and/or Asexual. I won't know for sure until I come out, mingle with people, join LGBTQ+ communities/support groups and start dating. . Unfortunately I don't think it will happen in my current environment. It'll take me a year at least before I can move out to a more pro-LGBTQ+ environment, away from the family, where I can do all the above. I'm patient and not too bothered about that anyway. Atleast not right now.
Aww thanks for sharing! That is so cool. Was it a spur of the moment or did you plan on coming out to that person?! Anyway congrats, again that's pretty cool!
It was a mix of both really. I've been feeling really confident about myself concerning my sexuality, I guess that reflected when I logged onto Skype casually. I was chatting with My online friend and felt like coming out to him. So mid-conversation I cut in and came out! .
