Positive coming out experiences--Friends, family

[JigsawAnalogy]

I've been thinking a lot about what it is that makes a coming out experience work. I hear from other people about how negative their experience was when they told someone else they were multiple, and it makes me wonder whether I've just been lucky, or whether there was something I did that made it "work" when I came out.

So I figured I would open this up to everyone, since I know that lots of people have had at least *some* good experiences with telling people they are multiple.

This topic is specific to telling friends and family members ("chosen" family or birth family) that you are multiple; and it's specific to thinking through what worked and why.

It would be nice if we could collect our experiences, and find ways to make it easier for people to have a positive experience with telling someone else they are multiple!
