My best friend came to visit me and do some of her school-related works. I have been thinking about coming out to her for some time, but I never had the courage to do it despite the fact that she supports LGBT community. This past weekend, I finally came out to her. She was shocked initially (I guess it was the way I told her), but she was very accepting. After I have come out to her I felt a huge relief. It feels like I just dropped a few tons of emotional baggage that I have been carrying around. I don't know if she knows how much I appreciate her listening to me, but I was very grateful that she listened and accepted me as I am. TL;DR: Came out to my best friend recently and it was a huge relief.
I came out to my best friend of 20 years and he was angry at me in the sweetest way. Him: "Why didn't you tell me sooner?" Me: "It's just scary. Every worst possible scenario runs through your head. I thought maybe you wouldn't love me anymore." Him: "How TF could I not love you? How could TF could anyone not love you?" He's such a great person. Best friends at 15 and we've always told each other "I love you." He's a brother, more than a friend.
I'm really pleased for both the people who have told there besties about their sexuality. It's not easy, I have been in that position too. And it really feels like a weight is lifted for sure.....very empowering..
Yeah I honestly can't put words to it. It was emotional at first, but then he made some crack like "let's go cruise for chicks... Or guys, whatever you're into tonight." That made me laugh so the weight was lifted tremendously.
