Do You Have to Come Out?

[ryguy714]

I am bisexual. However, I don't feel a need to tell anyone. I don't get depressed over it. Is there really any other reason to?

[sixguy6]

Non there is not and be happy with who you are :). I am. But you don't have to tell anyone if you don't want to

[CassnovA]

i would only tell people once u got a bf, to ease it in maybe like ' me and my bf are going the mall, wanna come?' , it shouldnt be any more of a big deal than if u got a gf imo.

[Calliope]

Nah, you don't have to come out if you don't want to. I don't feel the need to either, but I might anyways just to make sure my parents are aware, but you definitely don't have to.

[Croconaw]

You don't have to tell anyone. Keep it to yourself.

[TheN3rdyOutcast]

Well, honestly, if you want to have a partner someday, you're going to have to tell someone eventually, but if you don't feel the need to come out, then so be it.

[sqishy]

You don't have to, no, you have the right to choose either way

[Faolan]

Coming out only exists so that people aren't lying to themselves or others around them. If you're comfortable being bi, and don't care whether or not people know, then I wouldn't even bother to come out. If people ask, tell them, but don't make a huge deal about it.

[Ben_Frost]

You don't need to come out to anyone, it's no one else's business but yours. You don't have to explain anything about it to anyone.

[Luminous]

No, I don't see why you have to. I only tell people if they ask, really, and assuming you're comfortable with it you should still be able to be in a non-heterosexual relationship without keeping secrets, so I don't see what would be wrong with not coming out.

[Microcosm]

If you are comfortable with not telling anyone, then it is probably a good idea not to.

Basically this.
But if you have no driving desire to come out, nobody is making you.

No one "needs" to come out. Just be your self. If it appears to others you prefer same sex friends they may or may not assume you are bi. Most of my close friends are my team mates, true of them as well, don't know of a single person at my school who thinks that any of us are anything but straight. So, again, just be your self and enjoy life without putting a label on it.

Coming out is your own preference. If you don't feel like telling anyone, don't. Personally, outside VT I haven't made any declarations yet. I would tell someone if they asked it but I wouldn't make it a big deal and remain casual about it.

[TheLoneWolf]

Of course you do not have to come out.
Once you do get a boyfriend people will probably start asking questions. It would be wise to answer them...

[Jakie23]

Its not like a rule that you have to come out. Its entirely up to you :) if you don't want to, that's your decision :)

[Izofthebeholder]

If you don't want to come out don't.

Well you don't have to tell anyone that you're bi if you don't want to. I am bi to but I don't really tell anyone. I don't think there is a real reason we don't , we just don't feel the need to.

[Karkat]

Of course you don't have to come out! I mean, if you feel compelled to, or you want people to know, you should, but other than that, if you're fine with it, it's absolutely cool not to.

I casually drop hints about my sexuality when they're relevant, but aside from on VT and maybe GT, I don't really talk about it, I don't feel the need to. I don't really feel the need to come out either.

[Zachary G]

its nobodys business whether you like boys, girls, or both, so if you dont want to tell them then dont. But if you ever get into a relationship, then its your obligation to tell that person about your sexuality.

[Twilly F. Sniper]

No. It's not absolutely necessary.

[dame]

I was closeted for sometime, & I never saw it as a problem, I didn't feel like I had to tell anyone. I eventually decided that I should at least tell my close friends, then eventually it became a domino effect. I felt so much better, even though I didn't feel depressed prior to coming out. It's an amazing feeling to talk w/ my friends about guys that I think are cute & shit, I don't have to sit there & lie about what girls I like. It's up to you though, you may be in a situation where it may not be the best to come out.

[fast8]

There is no reason for u to tell anyone if u don't want to

This is basically how I am handling it. But, I told some of my closest friends because they help me through it.

[TurboDieselBandit]

I also haven't told anyone other than one of my sister's and a friend only because the time was right. It's not much of a secret but I'm not quite comfortable with everyone knowing if there's no reason; meaning if I don't have a bf.
