When I Came Out...

I’ve know that I’m Bisexual since 2010 and sometime during 2011 (I can’t remember exactly when) I wrote on my Facebook status that I’m bi.. Some people liked and I didn’t really think about it I just thought everyone would know then. I also came out on my blog and twitter. Anyway this story is about when I came out to my friend.

Today the 31/1 2012 I texted my best friend telling her about one of my classes in which I had told the teacher/class of a moral dilemma I had been in. I said that I was in one when I decided to come out.

My friend:”But why did you say that you came out to your teacher?”
Me: Because she asked me if I’d been in a moral dilemma.
My friend: But seriously, is it true?
Me: What? Haha
My friend: Cut it out, you understand.
Me: Yes I’m Bi, I thought you knew.
My friend: How was I supposed to know? Why haven’t you told me?
Me: I have written it on Facebook and twitter.
My friend: What, who have you told?
Me: I wrote it in my Facebook status
My friend:But how long have you know then?
Me: Since 2010 I think.
My friend: Omg, are you kidding me? Why haven’t you told me? You had over a year to tell me. 
Me: I don’t know, I’m sorry. I just didn’t know when to tell you. 
My friend: Does anyone from our other friends now?
Me: Yes, J.
My friend: Hmm, so when did you tell her?
Me: She asked me sometime last year after seeing my Facebook and twitter update.
My friend: Oh okay, but honestly. You could have told me.
Me: I’m sorry I just didn’t think it was such a big deal since I had written it on Facebook and twitter, I thought everyone knew.
My friend: Maybe I was a bit sulky/angry. I just wanted to know why you didn’t tell me to begin with. Anyhow, how did you know then? 
Me: I’m sorry, if I could do it all over I would tell you first! But telling someone face to face is hard. I haven’t done that to anyone. (Apart from my class ofc ). I understood it when I began to see girls who I thought was attractive and that I wouldn’t mind having a relationship with them.
My friend: Oh okay.

And then we continued to talk like nothing had happened. I understood that she was angry with me because she didn’t use any smiley’s in her texts and I felt really guilty for not telling her, I don’t know what I was afraid of but I’m glad that she knows now. And that she accepts me for who I am!

Never underestimate your friends, if they are worth keeping they will accept you for who you are! If they don’t, well then they’re not such good friends, are they?
