Glad to add another success story up here! Came out to a gay friend through text message (still too scared to do it irl or even through FaceTime...haha) but it was a gratifying experience to know that I actually talked about something personal with someone who wasn't my therapist! That's not really something that happens often! I was shaking and super scared but it was worth it. Got some really good coming advice from them too (they're out to their family + friends) So I'm an intensely introverted person, so I end up being private about things that really shouldn't be a big deal. Yeah,I don't like it either. My resolution for this school year is to stop being so private for no reason and hopefully open up to my friends!!!
I'm glad to hear it went well for you! I'm the same way, I tend to close myself off and hold my private matters close to heart because I've gotten hurt too many times. But I've started to open myself up in the past year and it makes such a difference. It really shows you who your real friends are, who'll be there for you no matter what. Good luck to you!
Thank you friend! I've wanted to tell this particular person for a while & it's just nice for this day to finally come
God, I relate to this so much. This makes me motivated to open up a bit more, myself! So proud of you!
