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.

No offense, OP, but what a terrible friend. The rest of them not as much, since it took an hour, but not as much as the K friend. Good for you for coming out, btw. It must've been really hard.

Why does the whole internet try to argue at any point possible? It was poor grammar, but who bloody cares?

In a way you should be glad about it. Would you rather they had typed back something offensive about your sexuality and told you not to contact them again? I would have also just put "OK" or even "So?" This may be your friend's way of showing you they don't give a damn about your sexuality. Take it as a good thing.

Maybe group message as the absolute worst way to do that.

The only reason someone would come out as bisexual in a group message is for attention. Stop being an attention ***** your friends are probably sick of it. Also its 2014, unless you live somewhere that is very religious nobody cares if your bi.

text message? its not anxiety, is laziness and disregard for your "friends". i figure, while you are all up for group messaging, why not invite them over for some group fun - you are bi, you can have a go with all of them.

"Coming Out" as bi isn't really something people do. It's not nearly as bad as coming out when you are actually gay or transgender. Plus if you wanted to tell your friends something so "important" then you might want to tell them in person.

My younger brother came out, and my dad's response: I don't care. It should not be as big of a deal as people make it. Whatever makes you happy
