I Feel Stupid

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

lots of people take far longer to realise. Social conditioning is powerful and hard to break.

Especially since I come from a very conservative, closed-minded family.@firefall

@Bluesugar93 that must make it enormously tougher

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.
