Three months ago, I came out to my family members, and sheesh, they give the worst comments and advice.
The family members I came out to first were my cousins. They were surprised at first...but then the comments started. They were like " you know that people say things like this to get attention" and the worst of all "you're just thinking this... it's just a phase" (I came to them as BI but then later realized that I was just gay)🤡. When we were having a discussion about the future and how everyone would react..one of them was like "just get with a guy... there won't be a problem". (when I came out as BI), then I came out to my parents, they were the worst...of course, they wouldn't know what to do after their elder daughter has come out to them...so I even came out to them the second time...this time, with a presentation...but they made me take it down eventually...when the people you look up to and trust the most hurt you..now that is damage ...I even gave them the information and resources they needed...but no it didn't work and it still doesn't...they just can't accept the fact that their daughter loves women...anyways...I hope I get accepted one day...It will take time...but till...then...THERAPY!!🤡
(sorry this is so late) HI! BI FRIEND HERE :D
yeah, that sounds rough. i am so sorry that your parents aren't supportive of you, but please know that this community supports you. labels can change and the people you love should support you no matter what, but sometimes it takes time. and, yeah, that sucks. people don't get it and i am really sorry for the strain that puts on your relationships. until then, use spaces like this one to express yourself and get validation because you deserve it, and if you ever need anything, feel free to reach out :)
