Here's hoping everyone else you come out to will have a similar reaction. Don't let them get you down if they do not; it's their failure, not yours.

Im not that worried about this that much. My other friends will accept it with ease. They will probably make a shit ton of jokes about it, but tbf I would do too. My family shouldn't be that hard too. The biggest problem I have will be getting the courage to implement who I Am into every day life and having to "out" myself to all those groups of people that I know, but dont know that good, that I would be able to talk about a lot of the intimate details. Its not that I will face backlash from those persons (at least not from those where I would actually mind having to cut them off), but me being to scared to actually change something.
Edit: there might be one or two friends who I may have to cut off, which would be kinda ass, but it wouldn't mean the end of the world to me.
That's a good friend, which you probably got by being a good person.
Funny enough is, that I met him through Lemmy. We didnt live that far away and it was a quitefcool coincidence, that I happened to move around near him for university (its around a 20 Minute drive to him). But yeah, hes a very good friend.
Well done! You've got the hard part done now <3
I would consider that the easy part. There are some other people to which coming out will be much harder.
That's unfortunately true sometimes. You might have to have those conversations by yourself, but you are not alone.
