Came out to mother & Siblings Last Night

BabyMonkeyy

So ya last night i rang my mother and told her i was gay. I was out with a few mates on the piss and i was in the smoking area and basically rang her and told her. I've been wanted to say it so a few weeks now but couldn't do it.

It was incredible hard to get the words out and say it. I had her thinking i was in some sort of trouble for about a minute or so balling my eyes out. After a lengthy chat i then rang my sister and pretty much did the same thing although slightly easier.

So i woke up this morning with a slight hangover and dread. Its out there and its real now i guess. So many emotions going on its quite tiring. I have spoken to my other sister now and she took it well i guess as well. Still balled my eyes out though. But the dread of people knowing now has slightly improved i guess.

I'm planning on ringing my best mates tomorrow and telling them. I don't think i could do it in person to be honest. So ya that's it really.

I came out to one of my closest friends via text. I knew he'd be cool with it. There's very few wrong ways to come out, so do whatever makes you feel most comfortable.

Coming out is very difficult due to our own self fear but I've never had a bad reaction. The paranoia is really just in our own heads. All will be fine.

I met one of my best buddies during lunch one day. So after the roast beef was consumed and the tea was on the way I said to myself 'now or never - just tell him'. He knew something was up and I just couldn't get the words out. So I whipped out my phone, typed in a message 'I'm gay' and passed the phone across the table. Job done. There is never going to be a right way or a wrong way I guess, just everything in its own time.

Well done OP. As you say it's out there now...

So i have told 4 mates that i have met and still keep in contact with in OZ and they're been extremely supportive and all that so that's helped. I've also told two cousins who i would be pretty close to and well there grand with it. One of them has already made jokes which does help. ha. He's also helped me not think about it too much and made me laugh at the length of time I've kept it quite.

I still have to tell 3 of my very best mates. But i will be doing it in the next week. I have to say the last few days have been a bit of a roller coaster. I'm starting to get some relief in the fact that people are starting to know. Although the day after i told the mother i was frantic.
