I Feel Stupid
For just now realizing I’m bisexual at age 25. I’ve, apparently, been in denial my entire life.

@Bluesugar93 yes it is....denial is defeatist...awakening is enlightenment

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

@Bluesugar93 sounds about par for the course, sadly
@Bluesugar93 People just don’t understand. They think you catch it like a cold or are brainwashed. It just doesn’t work like that. It’s sad.

@Bluesugar93 I think I would have been okay with that too 😂

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.

@DragonFruit It’s not easy thing to know, often times.

@ladycae I knew at 11 or 12, but hid it from family until I was 23. It’s so tough to be open about. ✌️

@JustGoneNow 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. ☮️

? Hey, you figured it out now, not 10 yrs from now, so good. Can't beat yourself up about things as you discover them.
Don't beat yourself up; the world will have more than enough time to do that for you.

It takes time to understand ourselves

Please don't feel stupid about that.
That's a great thing to discover, at any age.
You're lucky you discovered it early.
Now you can look forward to having twice the fun for years.
