Coming To Terms

[ausley]

Alright so im finally realizing that im bi and startingto be Kay with it. I fancy guys and girls the same way and know now because of emotional attraction. I want to start coming out but im not gonna completely label myself and make a whole video about cause I don't want that attention. If people wanted to know they'd just ask me. But for those who have come out are there changes at you school and with your friends? when you you came out

It's taken me a very long time to be confident enough with my sexuality to start telling people. The first person I told was my sister, only about a month after completely accepting it myself. Maybe 4 or 5 months later I told my parents. I didn't tell anyone for about a year after that. It is not longer a 'secret' but not a lot of people know. I'd like to post it on facebook and just make it a public fact, however I am friends with a lot of parents of child actors and filmmakers and I don't want to not be casted because I'm gay or anything like that so I haven't. It hasn't changed anything so far.

My experience was kinda haphazard and random. It was during the summer when I was staying with my older sister in the UK and I ended up telling her. She wasnt bothered by it and told me that she could now brag about having a gay brother :P I think she mentioned it to my dad because he asked me about it and my dad being a bit of a modernist hippie told me that I just need to be who I am, and that He'l have no problems so long as I don't pretend to be something I'm not. :) I know all to well that coming out is not as simple as that for most people however :(

i came out to my parents who were very accepting of me, and my close friends as well. in school for those that found out about it, they really didnt treat me any differently than before, but many of them had all kids of questions for me and some seemed a little kinder. Im not saying there werent any jerks, because there were, but they were in the minority as far as i am concerned

I have to come terms with myself recently after a long time battling my feelings, and wondering if I was really bi, but I don't come out to many people. I talk about it here, and to other online friends, and two people that I talk to in person know. I don't want everyone to know because where I live a lot of people still get made fun of for that. My family is very conservative, and christian. They would hate me for being bi.

^^^Literally my life. Like actually.

Anyway, the only people I have come out to are my very closest friends, and they are all cool with it. They understand that sexuality is not a defining factor and know I am still the same awkward quack as before. When you come out, start by telling people who will be understanding. Having support builds an immense amount of confidence.

You got lucky, usually don't go that smoothly.
