I finally came out to my mother last week, she was pretty cool about it, she basically knew already. She says she thinks we have an open minded family whom will accept it, I asked her how she would feel if I eventually changed my name, started taking male hormones and fully transitioning and she said she would accept that. And yeah overall she was pretty great. I really want to come out to everyone else soon but there's just... Something holding me back, I don't understand what, has anyone else felt like this? I feel so uncomfortable thinking about the initial social transition, I wish I could just skip coming out and thinking about a name because it seems so difficult. I also feel a bit embarrassed talking about it to people. I can't chose a name yet either, there are plenty of names I like but none I really identify with as of yet. It just all seems so difficult, the social transitioning, choosing a name, coming out and everything. I've known I was male since I was about 6, I just can't help but feel something is holding me back. Is it just me? Or has anyone else had these feelings? I mean it's a big big step, could it just be nerves?

I feel the same way with my friends who I met on the internet, then later met in real life... they know me as being biologically male, because on the internet I say that I am and in real life I pass well... and most of my internet friends who I later met in real life, when I met them, I couldn't admit to myself that I was transgender yet... I would tell myself that I said I was biologically male online for internet safety reasons, but now I have been able to admit to myself and my parents that I'm FtM and I don't know what to say to my friends.

You'll become better at it  My first and second coming out was a mess...I was so nervous, I'm not sure I told whole sentences and it was understandable. I never thaught I'd be comfortable with it.
I'm not sure, you feel it's something holds you back, from coming out or maybe from the whole transition?
