Coming out of the closet
COMING OUT is a big moment. Letting some else in your part of life is quite hard.
A secret that you may have carried for a long time.
Some of you may have lied pretended to be someone who you are not. Others may simply have kept silent. If you're lucky you have an incredible support system build in, made up of people who love you regardless.
IT AIN'T EASY...!!!
Revelling anything personal is not easy and people are not receiving at their end that kind of news might not be ready to hear what you have to say. Although you would be surprised to see the Number of people there are.
I am going to share a few steps ..!!
STEP 1 ... MAKE SURE YOU'RE READY....!!!
Coming out is an personal decsion and it is completely upto you when you decide to do it. GO WITH YOUR GUT and remember that coming out is isolated incidence. It's a process of being open ask from your self and others that trust us gets easier over time. That process is different for everyone so don't feel pressure MAKE SURE YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY READY.
STEP 2 ... TELL SOMEONE YOU TRUST ...!!!
The hope is eventually telling some thing about your thing would be matter of statement.
But that first time telling some would likely be difficult. HEY it even take a couple tries after you can get those words out. TELL SOME ON WHOM YOU TRUST AND WHO YOU KNOW CARES ABOUT YOU.
STEP 3 .... PLAN IT OUT ....!!!
You Aren't going to write out exactly what you have to say. But having an idea of how you are going to address the topic isn't a bad thing. Be straight forward. Avoid the verge of promptly apologise or make excuses. HEY You control the tone of the conversation. So don't be down on your self. Be honest and if you feel upto it try sprinkling in a little humor it can go a long way to easy the situation.!!!
STEP 4 .... SAY IT...!!!
And after you SAY anything can happen. On one hand the person you are telling might already know. And hey they been here for you whole the time. And this revelation would be a nice relief for them to so they can stop pretending.
BUT UH every one will not react to the news commonly. DON'T FREAK OUT if a person initial reaction is strong or not normal. IT TAKES TIME.
LET THEM ASK QUESTIONS. And answer them as honestly as you can.
STEP 5... YOU ARE NOT ALONE ...!!
There are so manay great resources out there, so many people who surround you with love and support. Yeah you may have some bad experiences coming out but if you keep being honest with others you will find that more and more these interactions will go very well.
THERE'S NOTHING HEALTHIER AND BRAVIER THEN LIVING OPENLY AS YOUR SELF. BEING BRAVE IS NOT BEING AFRAID IT'S DOING SOMETHING EVEN IF
