Recentley I have figured out Im Lesbian. My Best Friend (who I have known sence 1st Grade) is VERY Straight. Iv talked to her about Gays and shes OK with two Men but isnt confortable with two Girls. I want to tell her because we are VERY close. Iv told two of my other Friends (over Text) and they have excepted me but shes.........REALLY into her religion. Also, at a Dance one of my other Friends called us Lesbians (as a joke) because we were just sitting and talking every now and then. My Best Friend didnt really say anything just kind of laughed and softly said no. I dont know if this helps. Any help?
What are you scared of, exacly, and what are you wanting help with? Are you scared of telling her, and want help with how to go about it? Or are you scared of how people in general will react and want help in knowing who to tell and who not? Or ... well, there are plenty of permutations. Here's a few points to bear in mind. 1. You are who you are. You mustn't feel ashame or apologetic about that ... and nor do you need to explain it. 2. You do not have to choose to tell everyone who and what you are. You are free to do so if you wish. But, equally, you are free not to. 3. Most of your friends will be completely accepting when you choose to tell them (and many, you will find, will have already worked this out for themselves). Some will not ... but does that matter? If they cannot accept you for who and what you are, is theirs the sort of friendship you need or want in any event? Hoping all goes well for you now you've realised who and what you are. Big hug from me. Becky
