It can be very positive and freeing to finally come out, but it can also be frightening, and often dangerous. As you talk to friends remember that whatever you tell them can be weaponized against you in the future. When I revealed my feelings to a friend of over 25 years, he used the information to try and destroy me. Not only was the destruction devastating, but it was a double whammy. I lost my last “friend”. Now I stand alone in my struggle, aside from those here who have been so helpful. The fewer details you give until you determine which friends will stand with you through your journey the better.
Having said all of that, I hope that you do not lose heart. You are young with a bright future ahead of you and with support and careful research and understanding, I am certain that you will successfully complete whatever journey you choose. Stay strong, value those who stand beside you regardless of your feelings, and keep the faith.

Just take it slow and easy, Just, it takes time. Every person is different and everyone’s reaction is going to be different. There is no cut, copy and paste on people.
Plus A lot depends on your area, Is CD/Trans friendly or not. Like in my area it is not at all. I could not just jump out my door and this is the real me. If I did, there was a good chance of being beating to pulp. I had to do little things at a time. Like for example like one day I wore leggings instead of jeans. Another time was dressed in all mens wear, but I had my nails and hair done. They had to get used to seeing me.
I live in a very rural area and so very CD/Trans Phobic. I had to let them see me little by little. Trust I know it can be frustrating, and it’s not going to happen overnight.
Just take slow baby steps, one foot in front of the other and soon you’ll be walking out the door with your head held high.
Hippie

Well, slow your roll a bit. Often people need some time to process things and come to whatever conclusion they will come to. I don’t know if there is actually any way to predict someone’s reaction, but what I have seen is that often our fears are way out of proportion to the reality.
Good Luck!
