I could really use some advice right now so if you have any please leave it below. Now here is my situation.I recently realized I'm probably not straight. A lot of things led up to me coming to this conclusion. Anyway now I am going between bi and lesbian. The problem is I don't want to tell my parents because I'm scared they won't support me. I'm kind of conflicted and confused and could really use some advice/support. Thank you. |

It is always hard coming out. Lots of people don’t feel comfortable coming out and lots of people are still confused. It’s going to be hard, but remember no one is rushing you. You can come out at your own pace and ask to see what their beliefs concerning the LGBTQ+ community are if you are scared. I am so proud of you no matter what.

I am not bi or les myself but my BFF is and I would just say the best advice to give is if you don’t feel ready yet don’t tell your parents yet my friend only told her parents about 2 months ago but she knew for like a year and if they don’t support you your friends and other family members might. Hope this helps.

I would say that mabey you could just slip into a conversation something about the LGBTQ+ community. Like, you could just mention something about BLM, and some oppressed groups, and mention LGBTQ to see if there is a reaction and if they say anything bad about it. IDK, hope it helps though. And last, if you aren't comfortable, it's okay. Just accept yourself, and later worry about other people's opinions.

Well for starters, its perfectly okay to question yourself!!! Very few people know right away who they are, so you're not alone!! Honestly, before coming out you should try to be more firm in what your identity is. I know that will take some time, but it's really important so you're not jumping back and forth. I bounced around with my identity (first bi, then pan, panace, pan, then back to bi) and it made it really confusing for my mom and made it harder for her to support me because I was constantly changing my grounds of who i was. Knowing who you are before you come out will help prevent a whole wave of reactions. Bring up LGBT related things. Mention that you saw a post online about someone loving someone of the same sex and see what their standpoint is. It could help you figure out how you want to approach the topic Remember, no matter what people may think, this is you. Not them. Are they the one dating your s/o? nope. Are they the one getting married? nope nope nope. This is your life, not theirs. Sure, they can have their opinion, but it shouldn't affect how you live your life. You should definitely look into support groups. Having that extra support from people could be really beneficial, but you have to be careful. Not everyone has the same standpoints in the community and people can be very toxic. But making friends with the same issues as you could really help!! I'm also here i you need any questions answered. If you want to do it on here, or another platform, I will happily give you my info 🙂 |
