How to come out bisexual?

Hi everyone im new here to this place and I cant really get the right help that I really need. I get angry quite a lot, I get annoyed easily, I love drama, and I haven't come out to my mum that im bisexual. I think my sister already knows but I don't think my mum does and it kind of scares me. people at school also call me gay and I should date that person and I just tell them, that im bisexual. But people still call me gay about this, And plus there is heeps of people at my school who are part of the LGBTQ+ community. Anyway if you have any tips please tell me thankyou bye!

Identify how you think fits you best, don't worry about what other people think ðŸ™‚ Do you think your family will be accepting? If they are, it might be nice to tell one of them, I know when I told my sister I was gay, I felt a lot better about it because she supported me and was so kind about it. If not though, that is okay too. Even if it feels hard sometimes, these things can take time, so be patient and kind with yourself 🙂

Hi @JuniperFliesAway while I cant particularly relate to what you're going through I wanted to say how awesome it is that you're discovering yourself, talking about and thinking about opening up about how you are feeling and who you are.

 

My only suggestion would be to start by coming out to someone you really trust and will create a safe space for you to do this. Maybe your sister if you are close? It could be good to have her as a support if you are nervous about coming out to your parents as well.

 

Keep up us updated and sending you lots of hugs!

xx

Hey @JuniperFliesAway 

 

Welcome to ReachOut forums and thank you for sharing with us Heart I'm sorry to hear that you feel like you can't  get the help you need. 

 

It must be frustrating for your identity to be invalidated like that by your peers. It was actually Bi-Visibility Day a couple of days ago and part of that day is about making people aware that being bisexual doesn't mean "half straight and half gay". It's all about celebrating that bisexuality is a whole identity of it's own. It's really brave of you to stand firm in who you are when people at your school question you. The bisexual community is huge and you should feel proud to be part of it Heart 

 

We had a conversation about this on the forums a little while back - If you want to read click here. Also, if you ever feel like you need to talk to someone more about this kind of thing I'd recommend Qlife - they have a phone service and an online chat where you can discuss your sexuality in a safe space. 

 

You've mentioned feeling scared to tell your mum about being bisexual. Do you feel safe to talk with your sister about it? 

Welcome back!
