Coming Out Support Group

it is scary,
and it is hard,
and yes, you do have the chance of losing people in your life.
but NO! not EVERYONE is going to reject you! Not at all! you'd be suprised at how many of your friends and family will accept you, even if it takes them a little bit of time to warm up to the idea.

it's good that your mom knows. i'm still too scared to tell my parents. i'm going to wait untill i'm out of college to even ponder that idea! but i started with one of my friends. someone i knew was mature and who loved me for me, no matter what!
you don't have to come out to the entire world at once, and you don't have to come out to the ENIRE world at all.
just tell the ones you need to tell. and just tell them when you're ready. don't rush it.

start with one and build from there. soon, you'll have told enough people, and you'll have enough support that you won't even care what anyone else thinks of your sexuality.
seriously, for those who try and reject you and pull you down, to HELL with them!


good luck,
i hope this was encouraging!!

Not that i have a lot of experience in the coming out department but i strongly believe in the saying "Those who matter dont mind and those who mind dont matter!"

If people are going to be judgemental because of your sexuality is it really worth being around them? They should accept you for who you are not what people label you as!

Have you felt liberated since you came out to your mom?

You're fear of rejection is very common. I want to give you a big hug and tell you it'll be alright. Yes, there will always be some kind of negative response from someone, but those people don't matter unless they are family or close friends. If the latter have a problem with it, usually with time they come to accept it. You'll be Ok!!! :)
