Telling your best friend

[AddyC]

How was it when you've come out to your best friend. For me it was extremelly hard. I was planning over planning, and then, one day I told him:
'I have a very important thing to tell you! Don't be madon me or hate me, please. Remember I'm still the same I was etc,'
'You're gay?' he asked
'Yes' I said
'Ok, let's eat Pizza then'

hope that'll come in handy for others in my position!

I didn't have to, they told me before I even mentioned it. Easy for me I guess.

It was very difficult for me to tell my best friends, but after I did it I realized that they're my best friends, and that they've been my friends all this time while I've been gay, them knowing really doesn't change anything, it's just the label. It's very nice to have the air cleared with them though, and I'm very glad that I did it. I don't really feel like I'm hiding something from them anymore. It's brought us a bit closer.

Congrats! Its not easy to do but it is a great relief when the deed is done.

I ended up getting together with another in the closet best friend who came out literally in the next sentence after I told him!
Ohhh its a wonderful world! (Sorry...)

When I told my best friend, I was like, "um, I've been lying to you about something..." (I have been telling her about crushes on guys for years) and she was like, "I knew it! You're lesbian!" and was quite happy. Not because she likes me or anything like that, it was because she was happy I was telling the truth.
(everybody else has been like, "Oh, ****. Now you're a blooming lesbian" and I do not like that >.<)

I came out to my brother, who told my mom and my best friend who I also call my "adopted brother" and he said, "Whether you're gay, straight, or bi, you're still my best friend and brother." which made me feel more accepted than I had ever felt before.

It took me a month to work up the nerve to tell my best friend I was gay. And when that day came, I literally thought I was going to puke. "Would he reject me?" "Is our friendship going to be over?" There was no way I could avoid thinking that.

When I finally told him, he thought I was kidding at first. Then I told him I thought he was hot; I think that convinced him. :)

The good thing is that it's actually brought us closer together. Now he knows I am willing to experiment with him.

Telling my best mate was the hardest thing I did but he didn't care and said I was the same person I was yesterday only he knew more about me

Its stressfull telling ppl but ive found that eveytime i tell somone i feel a little better, i think our fear that we wont be accepted stops us from remembering how mutch our friends actually care about us.
