rating the reactions i’ve gotten to me coming out, because i said so
when i told my parents for the first time in middle school and then my mom burst into tears, yelled at me for 5+ hours, made me break up with my gf of one day, and made us end our family trip early— 2/10; it’s like, homophobic, but looking back on it it’s like a fun amount. adds a little spice to my mental health
when my mom went through my phone and saw my panicked texts to my friends about the pr*defall situation that happened a while ago— 5/10; we literally never spoke abt it again and i’m pretty sure she forgot abt it after confronting me lmao she Still thinks i’m straight to this day
every “hey, me too!” i’ve gotten— 9/10. i love every single one of them so much and i’m so proud of them and happy that they were trying to make me more comfortable. sometimes i just want the attention tho
the time i told my friend my crush was a girl and she was like stunned (in a good way) for a solid 10 minutes and wouldn’t stop awwwing at me— 7/10; i appreciate your support but you’re making me feel a liiiittle gbf-ey. also i hope your gay awakening comes sooner than later bc there’s no way you’re full het
the time i found out i was outed by someone (still to this day don’t know who) to a few ex friends of mine, and when i confronted one of my ex friends about it, she said “i thought you’ve already been out for the past couple of years?????”— 11/10; caused me SO much stress for absolutely no reason but i do appreciate the reassurance that i am very obviously bisexual. y’all better not spread anymore shit abt me tho
