There’s a point in time after coming out, that you may start to realize that a lot of the rules you lived by while you were closeted, do not apply anymore. Maybe exit strategies you created for certain situations so you didn’t have to hide, or choice of words for some frequently asked questions (like do you have a girlfriend). Among many other examples, there are anxieties you may have developed which are insanely strong muscles you may not want anymore. If this is true, that’s ok. Know that just like these defense mechanisms you have weren’t built over night, you can adjust or evolve them in the direction you would like to live your life, but don’t forget, this will take time and cannot happen overnight. Think of it like building actual muscle and remember that patience is a good thing to have on your side!
