How to cope when someones reaction is negative or not what you hoped for?
I'm glad this question came up! I was thinking of it earlier.
With the negative reaction, I'd suggest the same as before! Reach out to support networks, make sure you're safe, recognise this is not an indication of your worth and that there will be people who support you.
But 'not what you hoped for' -- VERY valid! A lot of people, especially now, can say things like 'what's the big deal, who cares?'. This sounds great on the surface, but it isn't recognising the HUGE amount of anxiety and energy put into coming out! 😫
