Hi there,

I really felt like I had to write this post, just to let my thoughts change into words, to tell others my story and maybe help me. It is a long one but as I said, I just felt like telling it...

So yesterday I did the thing I never EVER expected me to do. I came out to one of my best friends, who I also love, although it was via the pc and not eye to eye. At first he thought I was joking, so he asked a few times if I was really serious about it. Then, after a I said I really was, he started to ask me all kind of questions. How long I knew for example, but then he asked me if I already like someone. At first I didn't want to tell him, and I felt like I rushed into things way to fast, but at the same time I just wanted to say everything I thought, so I said I liked him...

Then after a couple of misunderstandings, in which I thought he said he liked me back, he said he was strait, and we stopped talking about the topic, although he once asked if I was going to tell it to other friends as well, which I replied with "If the timing is right, I will". I was really sad, especially becuase I thought for one second that I was importand for someone.. I slept really bad that night.

Then the next day I felt so sick and everything, I couldn't barely eat a felt so empty and had no real goals to aim for. In the afternoon I had planned to go into the city with another friend and the friend I came out to, but I was about to say I couldn't, since I didn't dare to see him...

Then I decided I had to go or else it would be even harder to see him etc.. So I went, and I was really tensed when I saw them waiting for me. As we walked to some shops he asked, in front of the other friend who don't knows it, if I wasn't joking about what I said. I said no but my other friend asked me multiple times if I wanted to tell him the story as well... I really felt I didn't want to so I didn't tell him.

Then it happend that me and the friend who I told were alone. He asked if I was really not joking again, saying that he really didn't believe me since I ain't a gay like most people think they are (I like cars and all the other boy things). He also asked if I was sure I liked him and I said yes. We didn't speak about it for the rest of the day.

Now I'm here behind my pc telling the story. I feel so sick, empty and I feel like I don't have a goal to aim for anymore.

I thought that coming out would be like a weight falling of the shoulders, but the pressure is raised by 700%. What should I do, I really didn't expected that this would happen, and I'm just an emotional wreck at the moment...

What should I do? I feel like I want to see him never again, scared to be confronted with the topic again. I also feel like I let myself down on being gay. I never had that problem with being gay before I told him, since I don't hate gays or anything, but now I just feel ashamed of myself... I just really don't know what to do or what I am living for anymore (sure I won't commit suicide, don't be afraid about that...). Please help me?

Sorry again for the long post

I'm sorry. I can't really help out much. I'm pretty much in the same situation as you. I came out to my best friend (or who I thought was my best friend) through letter. After texting back and forth, him asking all kinds of questions, he seemed pretty cool with it. But I always felt awkward around him. Like i didn't match up (i feel I always need to outdo him). No, being gay wasn't my fault. I noticed he stopped taking a liking to me as much: we didn't do handshakes anymore and all. After some months, he started acting gay around me (he's straight, just a bit immature, he probably didnt mean it). I got mad and texted him that it bothered me. Well we stopped talking, but I guess everything is cool now because three of us are sleeping over. But this boat is hard because youre (not just you, but in general) sensitive to every little thing. You always analyze every little thing. I fucking hate myself sometimes, because I've been so confused. Id hate to admit I have more than a liking for this kid. But what can I do? I'm 16 by the way.

You are just stressing about what he is thinking. I can tell you from experience (my friend came out to me) and really he is probably just trying to get used to it.

He does not think of you as less of a friend or any less worth talking to, but it will take a little while for him to adjust. Don't worry to much about it and he will be back to normal soon. If you don't worry, that is when the weight will be lifted off of your shoulders.
