Title: i never expected this reaction
Post by: kelly25 on June 23, 2013, 10:29:09 PM
so for the past year now I've been coming out to my friends ,coworkers and friends of friends and coworkers   and all the reaction have been great they all accepted me for me.

but recently I came out to my best friends   I was a little nervous but I finally got the courage to do it.
the thing that surprised me  was not that they accepted me but were actually excited about it.
so the rest of the night they asked my a bunch of question it was great

Great to know that you got such a positive reaction! ;D I hope that I'll get the same reaction if I come out to everyone!

That is so awesome.  I am so happy for you.  Every I hear stories like this it always warms my heart.

I dream about this happening to me if I ever came out, but then I think about every single friend and relative I have and I cannot think of a single one that would be the least bit accepting.  I'm 99% sure that if I ever came out, my entire life would crumble.  I guess I just keep the real side of me to myself.

Thanks for all the encouragement everyone.  Not sure if I'll ever be ready to come out, but it's nice to hear that so many of you had good experiences.
