So, about a week ago, I finally came out to people. I told one of my closest friends about 2 months ago, but I was worried about my BFF, whom I thought was a homophobe. Turns out, when having drunk emotional conversations with him at 3:00 in the morning, he thinks its perfectly fine and he couldn't care less. So, the next day, when I went home, I told him 'I'm gonna have to tell you something soon'. I proceeded to ignore him for 3 days, crying myself to sleep and worrying about what id done. Then I told him. His reaction was 'really?'. Like literally, that's all he said, with a huge grin on his face. He was shocked of course, but he was happy for me. Thanks to him, I was then able to tell the rest of my friendship group, who reacted in positive ways, apart from one girl who was upset that I didn't tell her first. He is such a supportive person and he always talks to me about who I like and what porn I watch and you can tell he really cares about me. He wont admit it, but I can tell he's happy that I was able to tell him and we both feel like it has really cemented our friendship, especially considering its only been going for about 5 months. Ive not told my parents yet, but that's because I thik they are the least important people to tell, as I know they wont care and also you don't really talk about relationships with parents do you? Thanks for hearing my story, and if you're debating coming out, do it sooner not later. I've been the happiest I have been all year for the past few days, and ive not been anywhere near as emotional or stressed, even in the light of exams that are coming up!
