After effect of coming out?

[Dangoblin]

Just recently, I told one of my best friends i was gay. She was completely cool with it and had no problems. My dilemma is, it just feels so weird. I've never EVER told anyone i was gay. She is the first person to know who i actually am. Something just doesnt feel right. I cant seem to grasp hold of the fact i actually told her that im gay. I even texted her the next day asking if i really told her my "secret" and sure enough i did. Every time i think about the situation, it becomes all fuzzy in my mind and it comes to me as shocking for some odd reason. I just wanna know, will this feeling fade? Is it just because ive never told anyone about the real me? I could sure use some advice.

At first it can be hard to accept who you are. I know when i first thought about being Bi, i couldn't accept it. But over time, you start to get comfortable with who you are. The first person can always be though especially when it is a close best friend. I will tell you that the memory of telling her will never fade away but i bet in 20 years when you think about it, you will be proud for taking those steps. Just keep moving forward and i bet the more and more people you tell, the easier it will get. Good luck!

I had the same feeling, I know that really it's better than my best friend didn't make a song and dance of it when I told him but I felt like it wasn't real that I told him. Maybe I was expecting a massive overreaction idk.

I have only come out to a few of my friends, but it felt like a HUGE weight lifted off of my shoulders. Also, it felt so weird finally verbalizing the words "I'm gay" lol

It's probably because you have kept this secret for so long and bottled up inside that it feels good to express your feelings with another person. When I first came out as Bisexual, I thought I dreamed the entire thing, and kept asking myself "Was that real?", "Did I really say that?", it is only natural that you are feeling this way.

I must say that last week i told my best friend that i am gay and i felt the same
It will pass after few days, you should need to talk to someone!
Its totally normal

It should pass, but that never happened to me.

I felt like a train wreck after I was outed. No, I didn't come out really, I was outed *sighs*. When I came out to my best friend, she was like, "I totally guessed it!" so that was easy. I basically just said, "Um, I'm..." and she finished the sentence for me.
