Yeah that’s coming out too afaik. The emphasis is just on the initial one because it tends to be the scariest and the most consequential. When I came out as aro/ace I was most nervous about the initial ones, close friends and family. Not that I necessarily expected trouble, but it would have the most impact on my life. Now my go-to strategy is to be very casual about it and act surprised that people didn’t already know whenever I have to tell someone new. Pretending to be confident actually tends to work.
It’s still coming out though, and with how the world works it always keeps being a bit scary
