If affects people in many different ways and there are many other variables including the degree of acceptance and support we get from those around us.
Also processing what it means for us personally and how and who we need to inform and uncertainty of how they might react amps up any anxieties we already have. All too often we're overthinkers so it's important that we learn to be kind to and patient with ourselves.
