Should I come out?

I cannot come out to my family, and I cannot come out to my close friends. I never plan on coming out to these people (because I feel like my friends will treat me differently even if they don't mean to, and I can't even imagine how my family would react...because I'm bisexual it'll be easy to hide it, tough luck if I fall for a woman in the end, though), but I really need to tell someone. I know a friend, she's a good friend but not a "close" friend per say, and I know she's really involved in the LGBTQ+ community, and I want to tell her because I want to tell [i]someone[/i].

Should I do it? I'm afraid I'll regret it.

I understand. I am bisexual, and know that I am. But I come from a very religious family, so coming out scares me. They had a big problem when my youngest brother came out as bi. :/

@thepreposterouspanda Yeah, my family's from a conservative country. They're not going to kick me out or anything, because they love me, and I know that, but they will never understand (and they'll tell me to hide it), and I don't want them to see me differently.

@lamps It sucks so much. :( And I think even in the LGTBQ+ community, bi is a bit tricky for some people. I just think people are gorgeous, ya know? :)

@thepreposterouspanda Yes, lot's of biphobia in the LGBTQ+ community as well. It's hard to find a place to fit in.
