is it normal to be scared when
is it normal to be scared to cone out even if my mom and sister is supportive? My dad is so-so about the community, but i’m still terrified to come out as agender and my preferred name. Is this dumb to be worried about? /gen
I dont know why but i always find myself crying thinking of trying to come out. If anyone can help me understand if this is normal I would appreciate it sm :((
@InternetZombay
yes it is very much normal to feel scared sometimes we are just scared of the reactions of people and may feel confused what they'll think etc , so understandable to worry about that <3 but remember too that it is very much valid to be you and to do things at your pace too ok?
I am happy your mum and sister are supportive and I hope this could comfort you a bit knowing they'd be okay with you coming out to them, whenever you feel ready to <3
They may already suspect it.
@InternetZombay It is completely normal and understandable dear. Sometimes us people are shy with our own selves and no matter how supportive people may be, you can never know how people will react when something happens to them personally. Stereotypes are also another reason. What's for sure is that if someone loves you dear, they will accet you as you are. And since your family is already supportive, I think you can trust them dear. I know it's hard because of our society's situation, but it can make you feel better and no one could support you through this more than your family. Please don't hesitate to connect with a listener or therapist if you're feeling overwhelmed. I'm sure everything will be ok eventually. Thank you for sharing your concerns with us!
@InternetZombay It's okay to feel scared!
@InternetZombay
I feel the exact same as you, and have a very similar situation, so you're not alone. Sending love 💖
ty to everyone who helped me <33 i didn’t know it would get that many responses but these were comforting to know it’s still ok to! Thank you again and have a good day or night!!
@InternetZombay
Yes, of course your feelings are normal and valid. It's a brave thing to live your truth. Once you're on the other side of that you'll be so glad you did. I'm so happy to hear you have support.
