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

adirom tells us more.

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.

Damn that sounds pretty cold, if they stop talking to you just because of your sexual preferences they're not worthy friends. Hopefully they were just too busy to reply but if not I'm really sorry OP that sucks :(

That's not okay they should support you no matter what . They arnt true friends

**** all the haters. I am bisexual as well. I love your courage

Just know that you're not alone. My MPD situation was harder only because of the MPD: there's two of us here, that each wanted to come out like you.

I don't really understand why it's a big deal. You like to dip the spoon in both tubs of ice cream. It doesn't change who you are as a person.
