Hi everyone! I'd be super happy to get an answer because I'v asked for help on many forums and never got a reply. Ok, so here is the thing: I'm bisexual, I know deep down I've always known but it took me a depression to finally come to term with that. I knew but I wanted to think of it as a phase, that it wouldn't matter anyway if I ended up with a guy. But the fact is, it matters to me, to say who I am because it's a part of me and hiding it hurt me more than I thought it would.
I have no problem coming out to my friends but it's a bit tricky when it comes to my family. My parents are very open-minded and pro gay marriage. We discuss about it a lot, they allowed my sister to go to the gay pride even though she is straight and so on. But we also talk about it a lot because I bring the topic a lot. Because I try to give them hints, but everytime they seem to pick up on it, I chicken out and prove that I'm "such a straight girl" by joking about the topic. And now it's freaking hard for me to come out because they won't expect it AT ALL.
Plus, it's super hard to come out as bi. They'll think I'm just trying to get attention, that it's a phase or that I'm gay and won't admit it yet.
And I'm also scared because they could be secretly be mad at me for not keeping it to myself. After all, being bi means that I can hide it, that I can work on myself and still try to find a guy because I'm attracted to them too. And they would be right in some way.I hate trouble and pray every night that I'll end up with a guy, make beautfiful babies and everything a normal person should do.
How can I help them coming to term with that?
Is there a bad way to come out?
Should I even come out?
Thanks in advance!
