Thinking about 'coming out'

[stealthdragon.livejournal.com]

Someone over in asperger recently commented that no-one should have to hide what they are, whatever that happens to be. We thought, "if only it were that easy".

This morning, while lying in bed, we realised that it really doesn't have to be any harder than that. We could just, y'know, tell people.

And we realised that we truly want to. We're tired of keeping up the mask to all but one or two of our closest friends.

We'll be telling our boyfriend first. We do, as they say, "fear rejection" - more from him than the rest of our friends, because we have more to lose. Our friends are an accepting bunch, though. Soon we'll see how accepting.

Perhaps we'll lose our nerve. Perhaps this thought will vanish into the abyss of memory. But then, perhaps not.

We're set to visit our boyfriend in the beginning of June. We'll see how it goes.

If you are fluid (we are very fluid and can sometime switch
voluntarilly - or at least if the other person is shadowing)

Talking to your friend:

You:

hmmmm... well you know - there are quite a few different people in
here (points to head) Lets see what thinks and ask
them to come forward.

Friend:

Maybe will not think it is a big thing.

If they say - what ? You have multiple personality - i say well
we don't like to be called personalities - we are people ;-)
