When I came out, my friends thought it was awkward and weird. Our friendship kinda cracked and they don’t talk to me anymore. It’s kind of sad. (13/Lesbian)

When I came out, it was to five girls at a sleepover at 3am. Turns out one is bi. They all took it great! (13/Lesbian)
Story #1176
When I came out, it was to my best friend. I sent her a picture of “Bismuth” (Bi) on the periodic table and wrote “I am” before it. She said she still loves me and that was it. Nothing has changed; it’s like nothing happened. (F/14/Bisexual)
Story #1175
When I came out to my friend of almost 10 years it was to tell her that I liked her. When I told her, she asked if I was joking. I said no. She said that nothing will change and I hope that they don’t. If she ever sees this I want her to know that I love her.
Story #1174
When I came out, I told my best guy friend first (I’m a girl). He said that he knew since we first met a year ago. Everyone thought I had a crush on him but he knew they were wrong. He still loves me and has been a great support!
Story #1171
When I came out to my best friend it wasn’t a big deal at all. She low-key came out to me as bi as well and asked me about the girl I had been seeing. I was so scared that she would be uncomfortable around me but absolutely nothing changed!!
Story #1172
When I came out over a group message with my closest friends, everyone was really accepting and supportive. Later, one of my friends messaged me separately and told me that she was really angry that I didn’t come out to her personally and that she felt like she deserved to know first. She then told me that she knew since we were in 6th grade. How she knew that I was bisexual I will never know, because I didn’t even recognise my attraction to girls until 11th grade and have never been very close to her.

When I came out my mom refused to believe it. She said things like, “You’re just confused, I know you like boys” and then started to cry. It was today, so I don’t know what’s going to happen. (21/Lesbian)
Story #1163
When I came out for the first time it was to my sister. She kept bugging me about one of my ex-boyfriends, so I told her that I liked someone else (which I do) so she kept asking me who. After days of her guessing I finally told her. She wasn’t too surprised but was still a little shocked. Since then I’ve told my friends and twin brother.
Story #1157
When I came out as bisexual my friend told me, “Wait, but girls can’t like girls. That’s just wrong. Ya know what? It’s probably just a phase anyway.” She was the first person I ever told, so now I have a fear of telling anyone else because I think they’ll have the same reaction.
