Hello i am 17F. Last year I came out bi to my best friend in a casual phone call.

I didn't even think i would do it but I did it anyways.

Her response shocked me. I never knew she was a homophobe because we used to discuss LGBTQ representation in dramas and she was fond of thai bl (gay) dramas as well. So naturally i thought she'd be chill. But she started telling me how I'm not thinking clearly. "The things I'm watching are influencing me.

I'm clearly doubting myself. Being homosexual is genetic or hereditary." I was genuinely surprised and I felt so fucking shit for saying it out to her after trusting her. I'm someone who doesn't even want to talk about my feelings to anyone but in that moment i trusted her to do so.

So i broke down a little and then composed myself in the span of 5 mins.

But now she was crying and saying things like she's sorry she's hurt me and that she shouldn't have said that and then I was the one consoling her for the majority of our call.

Since then i haven't shared anything personal with anyone ;⁠)
