How can I have a good experience coming out to people?

Finding a community and grounding yourself in a supportive community is one of the biggest ways that you can take care of yourself while you’re coming out. Finding core sources of support, acceptance, and love is going to be really important when you're going through the process of coming out to your family, friends, and community. Coming out is a process. It’s not necessarily something that happens overnight. There is the one event of saying the words to somebody, but the process of exploring what that identity means and settling into the person you want to be can take years.
