We spend our whole lives with the expectations of others that everything will fall into the same patterns for us as it does for them. Sometimes it takes long time for the truth to dawn on us that things will never be the same as we have grown up to expect.
The initial coming out conversations with close friends are often attempts to try out a new vocabulary and to test the water. It's a nerve jangling time.
I would say that is pretty much what you do unless you are alone and you can ask the occasional non-committal, "How's it going?" or something.
