So in the aftermath of coming out, I’m having some weird feelings. Like, I really really grateful for the support I’ve gotten, and it’s a huge relief, but it feels weird to me that almost no one is talking to me about it? Like, I thought maybe some of my more casual friends or friends I haven’t talked to much since high school would be surprised and message me like “What??” but no? And I’m just like “Did you know??? Did you see this coming??? How do you feel about it??? How many of you are revising your opinion of me and hiding it???” And that’s probably not something I should be feeling, because *have* only gotten messages of support, and that’s way more than a lot of people can hope for, and I’m incredibly lucky.
But I mean can’t one person express their surprise??? And I know there has to be people surprised because some of the people who I’m close enough to have come out to personally were surprised.
(And then there’s the weird feeling of “now everyone knows I like girls (and probably assumes I’m gay, and I’m not sure if they’re right or wrong right now), but I’ve never dated a girl, or kissed a girl, and I feel a little like a fraud,” but I at least expected that.)
