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!

What kind of a nimrod "comes out" via text message and thinks people will take it seriously? They probably figured someone found your phone and was trying to be evil.
A friend came out to me via instant message and I totally thought she was joking. I told her to stop messing around even then didn't really believe her until much later.

author, what was the outcome!? I hope they were all fine with it.
Why would you even say something that important via message

Maybe they just don't think it's a big deal? When my friend came out to me that was basically my reaction. Who she's attracted to makes no difference to me, it doesn't affect our friendship or change anything.
Isn't that a good thing? Your friends either already knew and don't care, or they know now and it doesn't bother them either way
That isn't something you should have told them via group text. Maybe that's why.

I came out to my friends about being lesbian by saying "lesbionest". Apparently they knew I was into girls before I could even figure myself out.

Probably not the best response (or lack thereof) on their part, but maybe it's so little of a deal (in that they love you no matter what) that they didn't feel the need to respond.
well, being bisexual isn't really even a big deal

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.
