[i]Please[/i] don't feel stupid about that. That's a [i]great[/i] thing to discover, at [i]any[/i] age. You're lucky you discovered it early. Now you can look forward to having twice the fun for years.
I didn’t realize that I was bisexual until I was older than that. Until I was 24, I thought I was straight.....then I thought I was gay for the next couple of years, until I realized that I was still attracted to women as well (I was close to 27 when I determined that I was actually bisexual). I’m not stupid (and I don’t think you are either).....but for me, coming to terms with my actual sexuality was a journey.
my late wife had a friend tell her she was a lesbian at 50 so your way beating her. i knew as a kid but avoided it till my 30's. so you beat me too. we each have our own journey to travel and the speed we walk it doesn't matter and the turns we take are ok.
@DarkHeaven it was so much worse back in the day. be grateful you came out in 2019 when you were not taking your life in your hands. i lost two jobs, a home and a best friend, one morning i came out to an NRA sticker over my double woman's symbol om my car. We had no protections under the law.
@ladycae I didn’t come out in 2019. I came out in early 1999. 20 years earlier. Just months after Mathew Shepard’s brutal torture and killing. It was a much different time. I was raised in the traditional rural US Midwest. I was in the music scene, so there was a bit more acceptance there but I’ve bern cussed at, spit at (my beautiful black girlfriend at the time and I,) hurled every kind of prejudiced name and insult. I’ve had my car trashed. Believe me, I know what prejudice looks like. It is what it is. Peace. ☮️
Yeah, I told my grandma today. She took it how I thought she would. She told me I was wrong/confused, asked which of my friends turned me this way, questioned my marriage, worried that I’m going to pick up women when I visit family this summer, and was upset I told my sister. She’s now worried that my sister will turn bi because I came out to her and now she’ll be confused and break up with her boyfriend. @firefall
No reason to feel stupid at all. There is not a timeframe for age on when anyone should know or realize. One of my friends figured out when she was in her 40's.

Don't feel stupid. It's fairly common. My friend just found out he's bi a few weeks ago and he's turning 23.
He helped me realize I was bi. He had a feeling about our whole 9 years we’ve been together. He has been supportive and helpful with the process. @MarineBob
