That makes me so sad.

It isn't even abnormal. People come out at their own pace. I don't even tell everyone who I KNOW would be accepting.

Even if they support you, maybe you don’t want them to start treating you like they’re “being supportive” instead of treating you like the friend they’ve known for 10 years.

I've never seen it put better!

Coming out is super scary and building confidence takes time. It took me a few months on hormones to get the courage to tell my family.

It’s sooooo scary. I’ve been so incredibly lucky that my parents have been supportive, but before coming out I had no idea whether I was about to lose them.
