Losing a best freind

I've known that I'm a lesbian for a while, right? But, as of yet, I haven't 'come out' to anyone. Well, recently, one of my best friends told me that she's bisexual. But it's not as though, when she told me, I could just blurt out my news. I just don't feel comfortable with anyone else knowing for right now. I mean, she'd take it pretty well, i suppose, but I have other friends who wouldn't ever spend the night at my house again.

As a result, I've kinda been avioding her for the past couple dyas, and she's acting like I've hurt her feelings. I know that she thinks I'm rejecting her because she told me, but I'm not. I just need some time to sort some stuff out. Is it normal for me to want some time to myself?

  • Yes, it's normal to want to take time to sort things out, but I think her confession gave you such a jolt about your own fears of rejection about coming out until you couldn't deal with her emotional needs. But it's very important for you to pull yourself together to support your friend who is feeling rejected right now. After all, if you ever decide to come out she may be the one person among your friends who understand the difficulties and fears you may eventually experience. She is living through that right now. The sooner you go to her, the better - she must be feeling pretty low right now.

    just talk to her. She needs comfort. Shes going through things like you are and this is the time when someone needs a friend to support and comfort them.

    it is normal to want to be by yourself and think. but, is she a REALLY good friend of your? maybe you need to talk to her instead of to youself so you don't loose a friend. i'm saying you have to 'come out' to her just let her know that you aren't afraid of her or whatever b/c she's bi. you don't want a loose a best friend. i know how important best friends can be

    It's normal it's a hard decision. Look on the bright side, at least your not like me. I'm so socially unaware that I don't know whether I'm out or not!

    Just tell her society is becoming more open to different sexuallities now it's not worth losing her as a friend

    It's normal but how would you feel if you disclosed such a personal thing and you were avoided? Not received very well!!! That would be my first thought. Hey, give her a call and talk!

    Just explain to her that you need a little time alone for awhile. Remember to tell her that it has nothing to do with her.

  • Yes it is normal you need some time by yourself and your friend needs to understand ones you tell her if you and your friend are really close you should tell her(:

    you could tell her in confidence, that is, if you think she's the sort of person who would keep the secret.

  • i know im going to sound like a twat here but u already know you are a lesbian and you know this person will take it ok so what else tdo you need to think about i dont know cus i know alotof people who are supposibly lesbians but basicly shouting it out as if its someway to get attention and people dont mind so why should someone who is not to mention iv got a friend who is a lezbian and her friends still hang around with her

    Definately normal. With regards coming out. Your true friends will accept you

    Ok look, if your a lesbian it's really hard to hide those little expressions like being a bit masculine, looking at other girls in a longing way, etc. Your friends already have an idea that you are if they don't full out know already, I guarantee it.

    If you wait to tell then yeah you could lose a friend however If you like her and you tell her then you might gain a "FRIEND".... Lol

    Do what you want but I'm sure they know.

    yes it is normal. and it would also be normal and quite healthy if you came out of the closet.

    OMG I think this is totally normal because I'm having the same experience myself. But I'm a bi.I've never confessed this to anyone. And now I am deeply in love with my best friend and she accepts me well. But the thing is we already finished our high school year and we are totally heading in the different directions and I am just not ready for it because I only met her last year meaning that I only spent 1 year together with her at our high school out of the rest of my 5-year high school year.

    It's no good just keeping quiet about it. It's best to just come out and talk about it. The outcome could be rather unexpected. This current situation is the worst outcome of all.

    I have a friend who recently came out as gay and despite being a straight male, I have always accepted him the way he is and we still share the same hotel room whenever we go travelling together. He's great and fun to travel with and his homosexuality never had anything to do with it.

    its really normanl
    and i do think its okay to have some time to yoursel,but u need to let her know that you are ok with her being bi. I mean she probably hinks that you dnt like her anymore. So you need to get things straight with her first.

    Im nt saying that you have to tell her anything yet but take into consideration her feelings. she just "came out" so shes most likely really nervous of wat people will hink so she will need a friend right now.

    does it bother you that your gay because of the religious factor? thats what turned me stright, the fact that because "likeing" girls and being attracted to them can make where your soul ends up for eternaty

    yes, it is normal..Almost the same thing happened to me too..i told her that i had feelings for her and she was fine at first(she told me she didn't) but then avoided me for a few months saying she needed space. and now it's very on and off for her to even talk to me.

  • theconstant

    Yes it is normal to want some time but your must also remember your friend has no idea why your avoiding her. if shes that good of a friend then shell understand. Its time to come out if your friends have a problem with this then they arent worth your time. pretending to be someone your not is not worth a few friends. Once you do come out youll see that theres a whole new world out there and that world just might be what you need in your life. But try to keep her as just a friend at first she might think your just saying your gay to impress her of she might think that your avoiding her because shes bi. Good luck

    I really think that you should tell your friend the truth, you don't honestly know that they wont accept you for exactly who you are, and as for your best friend, tell HER before anyone else, show her that you care, but if you don't think of her in any particualr way tell her that. you don't need something that is just part of who you are to stand in the way of your friends or your happyness

    You need to tell her that it isn't her and what she said. Tell her that you need some time to sort out some of your own issues that you're working on. She may not fully believe you until you feel comfortable coming out to her and explain yourself, but she will know that you still love her and don't want to lose her.

  • Straight, gay, lesbian, bi or like to hump german shepards - Everybody needs friends!

    Did it occur to you that this girl might have been feeling nervous "comming out" with admitting bi sexuality?

    In any event, if you are friends - then what dose it Matter? If you feel Comfortable in "comming out" to her then by all means do, but if not, then don't. I expect that sex is not the ONLY thing you two talk about.

    Friendship is more important than how one gets their sexual jollies. I have a good (male) friend who is - IMOHO - one of the worst (dependent on one's point of view) perves there is - but he is still My FRIEND.

    Wake up.

    Your friend needs your support. Maybe she knows you're gay too and is actually trying to come on to you. You need to talk to her to sort this all out.

      To: MisterGee81

      LESBIANS/GAYS/BISEXUALS DO NOT CHOOSE THIS LIFE-STYLE, AND IF THEY DO, THEY ARE NOT TRUE GAYS.

      coming from a bisexual, i found this extremely insulting. i didn't just wake up one day and say "im gonna like girls today"

      keep your comments to yourself if you have something mean to say.

        I totally agree that it's not something you chose any more than you can pick who you want to love. There are situations however (though few and far in between) in which someone has been so deeply scared by the opposite sex and has come to see them as the enemy. In these few situations (though it's not a conscious choice) circumstances can affect your preference.
