Open Question: Friends that support me or friends that respect me?
I recently came out as gay to my close friends and family, and this has been bugging me over the past few weeks. (sorry its long D:)
I have two very close friends, one who I have know since kindergarten, and one I have known since 6th grade. They are always very respectful towards me, and treat me kindly, (for the most part unless we are in that mood where we make fun of each other, jokingly of course.) Well, I came out to them. The one I have known since kindergarten told me I have liked boys my whole life, and followed up by telling me I am not gay, end of story. The other one just said what, and keeps going on as if I still like guys, for example, I told her I would rather go to a private school, and she said there will be good husband material for me there. I brush it off though as it is nothing, although it still kind of bothers me. The one I’ve known since kindergarten said she was sorry about what she said a little while after though.
I have another two friends whom I mostly hang out with during school. I told them I was gay, and they were accepting and took it really well. They told me that they will support me all the way. But they also don’t exactly respect me. They always snap at me for just talking, and call me stupid and dumb. I usually think it is a joke, but it hurts my feelings. I have told them it does, but they keep doing it.
Should I find new friends, go for the ones that respect me, or the ones who support me? I’m so stumped right now.. Thank you:)
