I've known my best friend for about 8 years, we would always play video games together do sleepovers all the best friend things.

I've come out as bi to 3 people (about a year ago) that were friends but low risk and asked them not to tell a soul as I'm definitely not "out". Each time I told them my heart sank, probably a shared feeling here :)

The issue is that my best friend is in a bit of "alpha male" phase (Andrew Tate (even gross to type)). When we talk about that stuff I always challenge his thinking with valid points and he never presses it or behaves like a stereotypical "alpha male" disciple or some shit idk. It feels like because he started working out at the gym that kind of content follows the gym content

I feel like he is secure enough in his sexuality to not flip out. Secure enough to kiss his male friends, or maybe it was just me he kissed idk.

I've reached a point where I want to be out and want to start telling people individually and I care about our friendship immensely does anyone have any advice?

EDIT (Very minor update)

I haven't had what I feel like is a proper opportunity to follow some amazing advice I've received just yet. But..... my friend is looking into moving into my sharehouse at the start of next year Feb 🙃 👍

I just love spanners and throwing and works, fml, jk it's sick.

Really appreciate everyone on here ❤️
