Re: I came out to my mom's best friend and I think it was a huge mistake

[(Anonymous)]

This is going to sound crazy, but I honestly suggest you at least try it.

Sit down and assume the body language and tone of voice you'd use if you're just chatting with friends, and say, OUT LOUD, something like this:

"I remember the first time I came out to someone, it was a lesbian friend of my mom's, and I was completely freaked out for a while afterwards. It seems silly now, but I was totally LOSING IT for a little while."

Not that exact phrasing, but whatever feels natural to you. Just really put yourself in the space of yourself, a few years older, sharing a little rueful laugh over that emotional space you passed through, back when you first came out to someone. Sure, it seems silly to you now, years later, but at the time it felt like a really big deal. It's the kind of thing we all do in one way or another, even if it is a little goofy in retrospect.

Try inhabiting that emotional space, just for a minute, and see if it helps.
