They didnt call me a slur or kick me out, but it was blatantly obvious they were all uncomfortable. Why would i spend more time with people who are uncomfortable with me when i have other friends who welcomed me with open arms? I feel bad like i overreacted, but also I ain’t wasting my time on people who just ‘tolerate’ me
My other friend group is also all straight, but they literally just said ‘we dont give a shit’ and we had a lil cheers and its been great. This group, it lingered uncomfortable for wayyy too long and some of em didnt talk to me at all for a few days. Felt like i did something wrong but I wasn’t bout to try and kiss their asses and walk on eggshells to make them feel better.
Yeah, stick with the friends who didn’t give a shit and cheered. If you really like the connection you have with the other guys, keep them around, let them ask questions. I had friends in which, my coming out took some time but in time, they grew to understand better and show more tolerance. Just depends on the type of friends you have. It’s also not your responsibility, but it’s an option.
that’s not how attraction works and that’s not how coming out works do you like every single person that aligns with your gender preference? i highly doubt that, just because someone is gay does not mean they suddenly are attracted to all their friends that align w their gender preference and coming out to your friends is the let them know about your sexuality and maybe find community and acceptance in it, not to try and “expect them to date you” you honestly sound so ignorant and rude
I explained a bit more responding to other comments, but most of them cut me off first. i said above, im not gonna kiss their asses to try and make them just OK with me. I didnt even do a full “hey guys everyone sit down… im gay” i slipped a few gay jokes into conversations and just said, yea fr. Sometimes convos lead to whatever girl we’ve been with recently, who’s talking to who and I was tired of sitting those convos out. I have another group of friends that reacted great-
