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.

probably because its an irrelevant fact. who cares? what did you want from them? a party? just be you. stop tryung to make it into some kind of big deal.

Coming out isn't necessarily equivalent to making it into a big deal. Unless you come out, people will usually assume that you're straight which can be kind of annoying if you aren't actually straight

No one really cares what sexually your into. It's a normal thing now. Don't make something out of it.

It really isn't "normal". If you refer to a relationship partner of a male most people would instantly think of a female. It's still needed to "come out" and it's terrifying even if you THINK the people will take it well because there's still that doubt

Some things should always be said in person. That way you can better understand reactions, and texting is so impersonal.

Maybe they just already knew and didn't see it as a big deal.. or they don't care and your sexuality doesn't change the way they feel about you as a friend... under reaction is better than an overreaction OP. =)
