Being open to friends

[ashdaniel]

So many years, I have stay in closet for who I am. When I was younger, I have feeling for guys, I thought it was hormone just a phase and lieing to myself. I am bi sexual. I like both guy and girl but I have so far date guy and try things with guys. I find it hard to ask girl out and afraid they say no. At first, I keep this secret that I am bi to myself and never thinking I will tell anyone because my family is very traditional and conservative. For the pass year, I have start to tell one of my friend then I realized my friends accepy of who I am and so cool about it. Now I am not hiding who I am anymore but also not shouting to the public that I am bi. The only thing I facing now is that my family will not accept the fact I am bi even I like girl too and second I haven't date any girl yet. I hope your come out story to your friend is much easier.

My mom REFUSES the fact that Im gay and takl to me about girls as if Im straight lol. My dad I dont know cuz he doesnt say anything but I'm glad my friends accept me. I know alot of lgbtq teens at my school so it wasnt really hard for me to come out of the closet.

You may be surprised about your parents reaction, you are their child and they love you and want you to be happy. I'm sure parents have this idea in theor head about what their kids will be like, and you may not meet that expectation

But ya no what? Your not a perfect person, nobody is, you are who you are, not what they expect you to be

And it may take them time to accept that, it may not

Belief me , one thing I know growing with my family is that they won't accept IT especially I am their only son. As people say the more you know the better you do, I don't have any expectation for them. I have been living in Canada all by myself since I was 17. I enjoy of being who I am and do what I want to. Also I reapect my parents for supporting me financially. Sometime not knowing is a will make them more happy cause either way I will on my own for next no idea how long.

That's really great that you could do that. At least you can live your life as you please more than you could otherwise I guess
My comment was more related to the last poster to me I thought, hope you didn't take me the wrong way

Mate, usually parents accept as you are but sometimes if they know you're bi they take this as a choice and they might tell you: okay i get it that you like the same sex,but you can have a gf and be "normal". And they won't get it why would you rather stick to the guys than girls(cuz you've said you're towards males) :) . That might be quite complicated,unless they're respecting your decissions and understands what's happening insde you

I guess I'm lucky. I came out to my best friend when I was 13. He was the only one who knew. Then I told a friend in school the next year and all of a sudden everyone knew!!!! It was really hard at first because I knew people were talking about me behind my back but I didn't know what they were saying. I was always afraid someone was going to bully me or worse. My parents noticed how uptight and worried I was after school and my mom kept asking me what's wrong what's wrong. One day I just burst out what it was and started crying. She hugged me so hard and told me it's okay. She always wondered if I was. Her and my dad talked about it before. They're totally ok with it!!!!!!!! Now I know I can be out because my parents know. So I'm pretty much out. I'm like ashdaniel tho I don't go telling random people about it or make it a big deal, but I don't hide it at all.

Congrat, the hardest thing to do is to tell the first person and then everything will be natural after that. I only telly my friends who I know they don't care about it because they are friends with me not my sexuality. Happy for you
