I don't remember everything the exact way it happened. It was so overwhelming during that point in time.
Here is what happened . . . I had a crush on a girl and I started sending pictures of her to a friend of mine, saying something like 'Tumblr's wet dream', '*heart eyes*', etc . . . And then he /jokingly/ asks me, "Do you have a crush on her or something?", and I swear to God, I don't know what came over me at that moment I typed yes and I sent it.
He was shocked to say the least
Oh and one thing I forgot to mention, I told my best friends and my mom before hand, in September, that I was joking because I chickened out Why I chickened out? Well, that's for later.
Nobody suspected anything. I was literally labeled least likely to be gay. Well, jokes on them.
And yes, I came out to all my friends then and initially they were a little suspicious because how are you supposed to believe that a girl you've seen drooling over numerous guys and showed no interest in girls not to be 100% heterosexual?
I'm not judging them though. Hell, even /I/ was shocked when I started seeing 'the vajayjay' as extremely appealing.
BTW, I haven't come out to my parents and I won't anytime soon.
And here is my conclusion.
Earlier I mentioned I had tried to come out before that. Big time failure. And you know why? I had spent all summer trying to seek advice and every single person said the same thing.
"Do it now. I don't care if you feel uncomfortable, and I don't care what your situation is. I couldn't give a rat's butt if we have different mindsets and you shouldn't care about others and blah blah blah . . ."
WRONGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
Come out to whoever you feel comfortable, whenever you feel comfortable. Things like that shouldn't be rushed.
This was my story and my advice. And I am kinda glad I told someone. Cheers.
