I was in bad shape when 2 of my friends who were going out with each other knew I was really bad they asked me to come over and talk to them. I was so bad I couldn't think of what would happen so I just told them. I went into detail and it was good to have both a male and female to talk to. It turned out great. I also came out to an old long distance kinda friend in Facebook msg, I went to him because he was gay, smart and active in the lgbt community. He immediately got some reasources to help me. I came out to and old best friend which i was leery of doing cause he was in a funk himself. It was probably a bad idea but I'll see. The last friend I recently came out to was very understanding had a 5 hour talk about it. He mentioned he was bi and yelled at me when I kept saying I felt so weird saying everything.
Best i can say is spend time thinking about who would be most understanding and considerate. I feel lucky how mine turned out but that was everyone on my "short list" . I'm going to be talking to my mom this weekend as things feel like they need to be said. I'm really trying to be hopeful. I hope it goes well for you too!

Well im proud to say I decided on someone I felt was right, my grandmother. And found the courage to let it out and talk to her about it. It was a big lift off my shoulder's just the little bit it was and she was very positive and understanding. I think I just took my first step in the direction I need to be in.  :)

I'm really glad to hear that it went well. It's always a relief to tell someone and they are understanding. I was so thankful for that myself and will hope for more circumstances like that for everyone in the future.
