E.T Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 I don't understand my feelings I tend to mostly find guys attractive I've never dated a guy but I have dated a girl it was for 3 years and I did love her but we broke up since she was a b**** but I find myself mostly attracted to guys and I don't know what to do since my family don't understand LGBTQI+ since they think like the 1500's and they all keep saying the way I dress is gay this is what everyone tells me just because I like to look good rather than wear tracksuits and baggy clothes I wear fitted trousersand such and they wouldn't understand me or accept me if I came out as anything 2 MultiQuote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many people who are bi can find themselves attracted to one gender more than the other so it's completely possible that you're bi. That sounds hurtful to be called gay as a negative term - would it be safe for you to come out at all? 1 1 MultiQuote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the cases, we would advise you to wait until you are able to live independently away from home (this could be through work or university for example). Is that a possibility for you?

How do you feel your safety would be affected? MultiQuote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monsoon Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 Hey there, I remember you mentioning that you don't live with them, do you? So, I'm wondering, why would you need to move if you came out? MultiQuote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
