last night I had planned on telling my best friend that I was gay but I felt so sick in the stomach that I couldn't did that happen to you today she kept asking me what I was going to tell her and she knows it is something big and personal When you first come out do you feel super nervous and worried?
Yes, definitely. It can be hard to work past. I noticed, though, that as soon as I said it, everything I was feeling completely changed from terror to a combination of relief and resignation.
the first time I ever came out was relatively easy, because the guy I came out to was gay. but the second time I was SOO nervous, I felt like I was going to puke (which I have done twice the nights before I knew I was going to come out). I got really quiet when I was walking with a friend, and she started asking me what was wrong, and I just couldn't answer. she knew, and finally I just spit it out. but she was great and we're still good friends today. good luck!
after i sent the email to mom comeing out my nerves were shot and i was shakeing because i was affraid she was gonna disown me.
Even when I'm just thinking about what it would be like to come out to someone (when I have no intention of doing so at that time), I get really nervous. It's not even a question of being ready or not. I'm reminded of the night I came out for the first time to my friend. We were in his room, and I spent what felt like at least ten minutes sitting there in silence as I tried to find the words. My stomach was churning, but once I told him, it was good. It's perfectly normal to feel very anxious about coming out to someone, especially for the first time. But then, once you've done it and your friend is accepting and supportive, the relief and comfort you feel will be fantastic. It'll be okay. (*hug*)
You might try writing it out and handing it to her, then you won't have to worry about getting choked up. Lex
It's perfectly okay to be afraid.Apparently,you must trust this person. You could do what Lex said,with a letter. It may help calm your nerves. Good luck.I hope it all goes well for you.
Yes a mixture of sheer terror and panic while waiting for your mouth to connect with your brain! But relief once its been said
I called my friend and asked her if I could come over because there was something I really needed to tell her. (I lived right next door lol) Shaking like a leaf, I told her. She looked right and said,"Well...is she cute?" It gets easier with friends. I am still trying to work up the courage to tell all the family!
With the few people I had told before it was easier, because they were friends. But when it came to my mom, right before telling her I had gotten so stressed out that whenever I thought about it my stomach would hurt. I was a shaking, sniveling, crying mess.
