Oi the nervous feeling of just coming out to someone....sadly either it's my anxiety or that feeling never goes away....but i will say it gets easier to say. And don't worry hun in my personal experience, only one person took it bad, the rest were all very supportive.

I'm hoping it goes well! Having a good friend on your side can really help. I know I'll remain eternally grateful for the love and understanding that my friends showed me.
Good luck! :)
Good luck! :)

I will say this, "It gets better."
The first one is always difficult, mainly because you know the gravity of doing so...the risks, the fears, the (potential) rejection, ridicule, etc...
The next few are each a little easier than the last one, but the fears and concern are still there...
But then a point is reached where most of the people who should know, do know, and the loss of one not-quite-close friend or distant relative doesn't carry the weight, the importance of the first dozen or so...
It's a lot like jumping into a cool lake in the summer...sure, the first dive is COLD, but in a few minutes you get used to it, and swimming becomes a pleasure.
Good luck with the rest of the "diving"!!
