Theres not really an expected feeling, it's more just something you do so you can live the rest of your life honestly and truthfully. It might feel great, it might feel awful, that doesn't matter.
For me, each time I did it, the act itself was a gauntlet of anxiety. It did gradually get less extreme with each instance. What did and continues to feel good is being able to go through life afterwards without worrying about how people might react to finding out, or about being involuntarily outed.
It can, but it doesn't have to. For some its excitement, for some its relief, some really don't like it (esp. if the reactions are not great)
They didn't even really react much. Just asked a bit about my Gender OCD (that was the context in which I came out)
I always feel shame when I tell people about it too. I overthinking so much about my gender, but when I say those things out loud it’s so weird.
I was terrified lol and then had a lot of “omg wtf did I do” I came out at work, friends and family on the same day.
It wore off, I’m a rip off the bandaid person though, I am very glad I came out.
