    I thought i could let her know I am no straight. She is my long time best friend, but still I was scared of any change in our relationship and what she might think of me.

    I brought up "can i tell you something, it's not a big deal, i just want you to know" and then i froze.

    She wouldn't let it go, and i ended up almost apologising whilst admitting I liked girls. She told me to stop apologising, that what i feel is so normal and ok, that anyone who isn't supportive isn't worth knowing. we then talked about it a bit and then we carried on our day completely normal. that is one incredible friend.

    next time i'll try not apologising or freezing..not my smoothest.

    Just thought i'd share, sending support to everyone!
