Barbie's Closet

Its confortable in this closet. I feel safe, but i cant help but to think that honesty is the best policy. I feel like I'm living a lie but I just want to make sure that this really me. I think some of my friends have an idea but I havent decied to tell them yet. I am finshing my last couple days of high school and I didnt want ti come out during high scool. People can be mean and I didnt want that to be my only indentity. I want to be comfortable with myself and if people are going to be cruel then how can I be comfortable?

I have came out to some of my very close friends and the reactions have been great, Those I have told have been very accepting and I know that they have my back. I have only had one person who was not really feeling it. I was in a relationship with this guy and I told him that I was Bi and he couldnt handle it, we broke up. It made me feel horrible that he wouldnt accept me. But then I took a step back and said, "If this guy cant accept me for who I am then why am I with him?" So now I feel liberated and ready for figure out who my real friends are!

Hey

It is comfortable in the closet isn't it?Sounds like we are in a similar situation-my close friends know about me,but not so much everyone else,and I'm on the edge of letting them know.
Glad you feel liberated and good luck with coming-out.

A time will come when you

A time will come when you don't care to keep it secret anymore. I'm sort of getting there. It's actually kind of relaxing =] I'd even say fun.

Eh...

I think you are using two definitions of comfortable in the same sentence.

You can be comfortable with who you are at the same time you are in a situation that can make you uncomfortable.

Not sure why I can't think of a less dire example right now, but... the Jews were comfortable with their religious identity when they were in Nazi concentration camps, in which they were uncomfortable, and in which they specifically were FOR their identity.

Really? High school isn't

Really? High school isn't cruel to me. I think I'm somewhat of an exception though... A lot of the people I know have been harassed. Like "bang you straight" harassment. Gauntlet styled "athletic hall".

Then there's me. People don't care. In fact, like everyone's accepted me, and if they haven't, they don't say a thing.

But... then I do know of people that have been harassed in my school. It makes me angry.
