This is going to be a relatively short post in comparison to others. I talked with my therapist. She was happy with my progress thus far. Yes she agreed it seemed fast, but at the same time I've had a drive to get this going. It was amazing because I was also able to say that I was gay without it feeling weird to me.
So I came out to a couple friends who I knew it would not be a problem with. I think I strengthened friendships there by doing it. I don't think they realized how much I thought of them as friends until I told them.
It was a little weird though because I didn't feel as jazzed about it afterwards. It wasn't because I wasn't happy it was more because it wasn't as big of a deal as it was when I told my brother. Telling him was telling one of the people in my every day life for the first time. Telling these friends just had less impact. I think it's because now I'm starting to live my life and the anxiety that comes from trying to hold back this part of me constantly is slipping away.
