Story #449

When I came out I was 21 and the first person I had to come out to was myself. I’d thought about it for years but it was only about 6 months before that I didn’t immediately dismiss it. I texted one of my best friends so that I couldn’t immediately backtrack from it and it later transpired that he was bi. Coming out for me was part of a long process of gaining confidence and self-acceptance. I still haven’t come out to my parents but I hope to soon.
