When I came out, I started by beading myself a bunch of pride jewelry and ordering a black and purple ring to wear on the middle finger of my right hand. I often wrote about being aroace with strangers on the internet. I didn’t specifically tell anyone I knew in real life for a few years, because I didn’t think they would understand my lack of attraction. I finally brought it up in conversation with one of my best friends, and she was very supportive. Maybe someday I’ll tell my family about my orientation too.
