Today, I came out as bisexual to my friends via group message. They didn't respond; I had a panic attack. An hour later, one of my friends texted back, "k". FML

Thanks for all your support (or lack there of in some cases) for those of you wondering why I told them over text, my friends and I are very close and have a group message with just the 4 of us, the topic came up and I took the opportunity. I have social anxiety, and decided for the sake of my sanity that would work best. And after my one friend replied "k" there were multiple texts saying they supported me and didn't think of me any differently (which was my worry). So it all turned out for the best! To all of y'all who think being bisexual isn't a big deal, coming out regardless is a big deal. So please try and open your mind to how difficult it is to stray from social norms!

Their silence probably means they're "k" with it. Just as long as you're happy with whom you are.

Gay is the new norm. It's not even cool to come out as gay anymore. The real edgy people are coming out as ebola victims.

Maybe be human and talk to them in person

You sent it in text. That's something probably best told in person...Harder but best. ..

Did you want them to call you a hero and treat you differently?

Maybe your friend just doesn't want to make it seem like a big deal, which it shouldn't be. Regardless, love yourself!

I'm assuming they're okay with your sexuality.

what did you expect them to do? make a party? avoid you? actually, to me its not important if my friends are ****, hetero or bi. I dont want to have sex with them. And...if you told them you were hetero...would their reaction be different? to me it sounds like they are absolutley okay with who you are without any kind of (pos. or neg.) drama. a friend of mine is homosexuelle. he was afraid how we would react. but we were all like: so? love whom you want to love and be happy. thats all that matters. and now lets get some icecream ;)
