How do I come out as bi?

Why do 50’somethings men like me suddenly become sexually obsessed with men and men only?

a lot of people are scared to come out, but they really shouldn't be. my parents accepted that I was bi and even had a little celebration, in the end though, it's up to you. I like to say that it's like a bandaid, take it off slowly and it just hurts more. you gotta be decisive and just, y'know, do it, but like I said, in the end, it's up to the individual, and it depends on the parents, some react well, but I've also seen parents who react rashly.

I'm Muslim but I have a feeling I'm bi, but I'm really scared what my parents will think and I think it's harambee but cannot find anything written in the Quran about it so tried searching online but s9me say yes, and some say no

I'm Bi, I'm really scared to tell anyone, I plan on telling my friend soon. I'm still really scared though. I'm leaning a bit more on the straight side but I'm still attracted to all genders. I'm not sure how my parents are going to react, I think they will react well though. My aunt is Lesbian if I need to I can come out to her before my parents.

I just came out as bi to my parents and it felt really good. Maby you can try just writing it down on a piece of paper and let them read it (that’s what I did)

My parents are Muslim and I think I'm lesbian my parents don't even know what being gay is what should I do?

I have known for a while that I am bi, but I don’t want to tell my parents yet because I’m not sure how they will react. I keep thinking they’ll say ‘you’re too young to know that no, come back to us when you’re older and know for real then’. I’m planning on telling my closest friend, but I’m not sure how she’ll take it, if I tell her I have a crush on a girl (I’m female). What should I do?

I'm still waiting to tell my parents. (They're divorced) I know that my mum would be really accepting because she actually dated a girl for a while. But my dad isn't as accepting, and he thinks that it's gross, and always tells me this whenever we see a girl with short hair, like bro, she just has short hair, CHILL OUT. does anyone have any ideas on how I could tell my dad? Like, I know that he would love me no matter what, but it's still REALLY SCARY.

It really depends on your parents, if they are strict and like a certain way of life, I wouldn’t. If they are laid back I’d do it. But if they are in between I’m not sure. Because I told my mom and she said if I was sure she was support me but my dad would freak. And I know advice is good, but honestly? Go with your gut girl. We are all right behind you!!❤️❤️❤️

I want to tell my family I'm bi but I'm scared. My sister is out to them (as lesbian) but I'm just scared and I don't know why. I'm already out to some friends but they know that I'm not out to my family yet. It's really stressing me out and I don't know when to tell them.

How do I tell ny parents I am bisexual because they think I am way to young to know my sexuality and to like people but I am a girl and the person i like is a girl but i also like boys so I am pretty positive I am bisexual but I am worried because I am worried I will get bullied at school.

First say to ur mom,dads are worst

I think girls are pretty and I might be open to dating one but what I’m not sure about is the intimate stuff? Like would I be into that or not? I don’t know

At 4yrs old my dad came into the enclosed back porch of our 4th floor Chicago apartment and sees me wearing my sisters red sequins leotard with an attached little red sequins fringe skirt. He picked me up, put me on his shoulders and carried me into the kitchen where my mom and an aunt and another neighbor woman were chatting and drinking coffee. He set me down on the floor and said “dance my lovely boy” and as I twirled and giggled and laughed like crazy, my mom, dad and the rest of the ladies laughed and giggled, whistled etc. I felt so fantastic and was having so much fun I didn’t want to stop. My mom & dad let me wear the dress the rest of the day. Our neighbor Mrs.Louise zipped up the rear zipper and I heard her say tights or something like that to my mom. But for the rest of my childhood and until today I wear my sister’s old skating tights and dresses, so everyone in my neighborhood probably thinks that I am at least gay if not bi.

I would never accpet myself as BI cause I am a muslim in an unsupportive family and I took a quiz but it said I am but I will not say I am and I will not tell myself I am

Hey there! sorry that this is a few months late, but I totally get how you feel, I came out to my parents as pan a few years ago and was totally scared about how they would take it. I’m not sure how old you are but let’s say your somewhere between the ages of 10-17 if thats not right, I’m sorry :( I would start by talking to some close friends about it, they can hopefully at least give you some support in school. As for your parents, the most important thing is to have enough faith in yourself, because even if they take it well, they are going to have questions and they might be upset. You need to know this is not your fault and has nothing to do with you!! you are loved and supported no matter what. If they really care about you as their child, they will love and support you no matter what! In the hopefully unlikely case they don’t support this, it’s important to have backup plans… perhaps a close friend who you could stay with, or a cool aunt/uncle. I ended up moving in with my friend’s family for a month after coming out because my parents ‘needed time to process’ I’m back at home with them now. Also… practice what you will say in the mirror so you know what your face will look like. You can do this! I believe in you!! Please take care of your self first, be kind to your body and mind and get help if you need it! There are so many of us out here who will support you! I know this is a long rant, but hopefully you can find this somewhat helpful.

show them this quiz

Just be honest with them they probably already know that you are bisexual

I don’t know what my Sexuality is but I think I’m Pansexual but I don’t know how to tell my parents either-

I'm 70% sure I'm bi, but I don't think I am ready to come out yet. And when I do feel ready to come out, I would likely be way too scared. Most of my friends are homophobes, and idk if it would make it awkward to tell my non-homophobic friends that I am bi. I also don't know if I'm pan or bi. My parents are allies, and have always dragged me to pride festivals, so they'd be the first ones I'd tell. I'd still be scared to death though. And I'm not really friends with a lot of LGBTQIA+ people that I could tell. What do I do?

It's awkward and idk how to come out as bi and demigirl I don't think it will be an issue with my parents but I'm also scared to come out as a therian and a furry any tips????

Try finding a quiet moment, and take it slow! And stay calm. Btw, you sent this on my birthday!

you should atleast try its for the best

I was js gonna bring my gf home and say this is my gf

My experience with crushes started off with my "friend" at the time pestering me about whether I had a crush or not until I picked the nicest boy in the class and pretended I liked him. I started thinking about him more, and after a while began to obsess over him to myself. As years progressed I picked the nicest, funniest, or cutest guy and talked about him to myself for a while until it wore off, but around 12 (when I first learned about LGBTQ+ people and thought 'oh that's cool!') I started doing that with girls. Have I ever actually had a crush on anyone (am I aromatic) or am I bisexual? Help!

Im trying to tell my parents too.

Hi, I’m not like a professional or anything but I’ve only come out to my mum because I knew she would be supportive of me and I’m waiting until I’ve told a few more friends to tell the rest of my family :)

i think thats a good idea

Honestly, that's my plan too lmao...

take as much time as you need

You should tell them! It will be okay. I promise.

Its ok

i want to tell my parents but when i told them my friend was one they seemed like kinda disgusted, i dont know what to do!

Maybe try hinting that your bi to your parent because I struggle the same way idk what to tell them but just hint to them then slowly build up the courage to tell them

I’m American and here in America we are on both side we are not very kind to bi and gay people but it’s not about the outside that matters it’s the inside and I am saying this from personal moment the schools are especially rude to gay and bisexual people and I also say this because I am bisexual.

im not sure i feel but parents are a concern if i did come out

My parents knows I’m bi but my friend dont, and they joke alot about gay and pueer stuff and use it as insults. So I don’t really know how they would react but it makes me really uncomfortable and sad when they joke about that stuff and says it’s weird. So I don’t really know if I Should tell them.

I don’t know what i am but i feel people will no longer think they can trust me

I just recently came out as pan, I suggest telling one parent first, then the other. also, have an escape plan in case things go south. Good luck❤

Do you guys think ill be judged for maybe being BI its just so many people are so nice and i can imagine the rest of my life with them maybe i just bhaver a good friendship but i really love them

It is up to you it is hard to come out but they are your parents they probably will be fine with it

I'm thinking the same thing I'm a guy and I totally like men but idk what to do and I have really bad anxiety cuz of it

I would tell my parents.. but I’m just so afraid to tell them I’m very Lowkey scared XD cuz of how they’ll react- I really need to tell then sooner! But im afraid of wondering how they will react to that im a bisexual It’s Getting my Stressed Out, and I don’t know what to do! Really- How should I tell them this?.. im very stressed Out- But some of my friends know im bisexual it’s just that I haven’t told my parents yet!

I think it depends if your comfortable telling them know or not like if you feel like you should then you should but if your scared and don't want to yet wait until You know it's the right time ,

I enjoy being bi sexual it just happened about 5years ago started out as being curious went to an adult video store where they have private booths after about 4trips finally got the courage to say yes to some guy who asked me what I wanted to do

I think you should tell them, and if they don’t except you then that’s their problem, not yours

I just told my mum on the car ride to school “mum I’m pansexual” so in case she disowned me I could stay at my friends house
