I'm so happy for you and your new good feeling! I love being bisexual.
Sorry im not trying to make a big deal out of it but it feels so good to be able to tell people, even if its only on a forum.
Just wish i had this much courage to tell my family and friends. What are everyone elses experiences with coming out? |
I came out to myself when I was 12. With family, I found the coming out experience is really THEIR JOB--they need to "COME IN". Not that they must convert sexually, but because you KNOW who you are and they don't. So I first tried the traditional coming out when I was 19 and that didn't take. My parents, especially my mom, remained in denial until just this year. So that's why I think of this as a coming in process for the family and parents. Some people take forever to come in, and so you may get tired of waiting and move on. But if the person is important to you, you try to compromise....I know the feeling...you are excited so you hope those who love you will share in your excitement. Remember they are new at this, and must go through a process of coming in. If a person is important to you, be patient with them and let them come in at their own pace. Your relationship will grow stronger that way, partly because they will see you cared enough to wait for them to come in when they were ready. It's basic give and take.
Have fun with this new awareness!!
