I’ve had many issues in the past few years with my self identity. Not in who I am and where I’m going in life, but in who I like and who I’m ‘allowed’ to like. Even though three people who are very important to me, know and accept that I am bisexual.. I realize that I feel so trapped, as if I cannot act on my own nature. I know that my family wouldn’t accept me one bit, which really depresses me regardless of how distant I feel from them. I’m such a hypocrite and I’m not sure what I should do.
I was actually in the same position as you at one point in time. It was difficult for me to come out to one of my closest friends in high school. By the time I was done tell her my deepest secret of being bisexual, it felt amazing to have at least one person know. It takes time to accept that you are bisexual, for some, longer than others. There’s nothing wrong with being bisexual. And about letting your family know of your bisexuality, it’s going to be difficult but you have to let them know sooner or later. I had a tough time coming out to my mom because she’s a strong believer of religion, in which I was going against for being bisexual and I also felt distant from her. But no matter what, you’re still her son/daughter and she’s still love you for you. I’ll takes time for her and your family to accept it, but things will get better. I promise you. Right now, just take your time in whether you want to come out to your family now or not. You’re in no rush. And as long as you got your 3 friends to stick by you through this situation, sometimes that’s all you really need. I really hope that this helped you in some way. Take care (:
