What is the feeling of coming out

1. Self acceptance and inner peace

• Successful coming out first means full acceptance of one's sexual orientation. Negative emotions such as inner struggles and self doubt that may have arisen from hiding one's true emotions before will be greatly alleviated. Just like the heavy burden that has been carried for a long time being unloaded, there is a feeling of relief. For example, before coming out, a lesbian felt anxious and guilty every time she faced inquiries from her family about her love situation. However, after successfully coming out, she was able to face her sexual orientation calmly and no longer had a psychological burden when faced with the care of her family.

• The inner world will experience an unprecedented calmness. No longer need to spend a lot of energy disguising or concealing, one can face people and things in life with their true self. This sense of authenticity will make people more confident, have a stronger sense of identity, and be able to explore their emotional world and lifestyle more calmly.

2. Deepening or rebuilding family and friend relationships

• Family relationships

• If family members can understand and accept it, it will make the family relationship stronger. After successfully coming out, family members may view her from a new perspective and show more respect for her personal choices. She can share her joys and sorrows in love life with her family, just like other heterosexual family members. For example, she can bring her partner home for the holiday, sit together and share interesting stories from each other's lives. This harmonious family atmosphere will make her feel full of love and support.

• For families with previously strained relationships, successfully coming out can be an opportunity to rebuild relationships. As her family gradually accepts her sexual orientation, both parties may cherish each other's feelings more and make up for the previous rift through communication and understanding.

• Friendship relationship

• In terms of friends, successfully coming out can screen out friends who truly understand and support her. These friends will give her encouragement and comfort after she comes out, and the trust between her and her friends will further deepen. For example, friends may celebrate for her by hosting a small gathering to make her feel the joy of being accepted. Moreover, she can freely discuss her love life and share romantic experiences with her partner in front of friends, and this open communication can make the friendship more stable.

3. Expansion of social circle and enhancement of sense of belonging

• After successfully coming out, it will be easier to integrate into the LGBTQ+community. In this community, she can make friends with many people who have similar experiences, and everyone supports and encourages each other. You can participate in various gay themed events, such as Pride Parade, Gay Culture Festival, etc. In these activities, she will see various people showcasing their identities in an open and proud manner, which will create a strong sense of belonging for her.

• At the same time, she will also actively speak up for the LGBTQ+community in society and participate in various activities to fight for LGBTQ+rights. This sense of participation will make her feel that she is not only fighting for her own rights, but also contributing to the entire group, further enhancing her sense of value and belonging in the social sphere.

4. Freedom and happiness enhancement in romantic life

• Successfully coming out of the closet gave her true freedom in her romantic life. She and her partner no longer need to hide and hide, and can naturally express their love in public places, such as holding hands, hugging, etc. Being able to plan for the future more freely, including living together and starting a business together.

• This free love environment will allow her to enjoy the process of love more and experience more happiness and sweetness.
