Hey everyone, i was just wondering about some advice on a common matter. Recently, I've become a bit concerned about coming out to my family as bisexual. And i know, some people don't feel that they have to come out, but I feel like i have to, just for the sake of closure, and so I can make jokes and stuff like that. But I'm worried about coming out, for the sake of judgement. I think my mom would be okay with it, but would take some time getting used to it. But I'm pretty sure my dad and brother would that me differently, even if they didn't know it . There's a slight chance they wouldn't, but I don't know
I just really could use some advice from y'all
Thank you so much

Why don't you ask them a hypothetical question about their thoughts if they had another kid and he turned out gay or bi?

I really don't see a need to come out as a bi,especially when you don't know how they'll react,come out to them if you"ll find a bf

Do not hide relationships. Live your life openly and they will figure it out without you making an announcement. Answer questions honestly. Don't be embarrassed or apologetic. Enjoy life as it presents!

So true, and it's really an unfair expectation to think anyone is any particular sexuality anyways. And in the end they will still love you, you are part of the family

I have come out to my mom and dad. Both are really easy going and open minded and I'm close to both of them. I think if you have parents that are similar you'll be okay with it. You have to be comfortable with it. I made a thread about my experience with my mom a few weeks ago, it's in this section on the second or third page if you want to read it.

when u go out on ur own. :yes:
