How do I tell my parents that I'm bi

I think it's important to first be comfortable with who you are.

Give yourself some space and time and perhaps open up to some friends first that you feel comfortable with.

There is no rush to how you navigate this 💜💖

It’s a challenge. I grew up in a strict family who did not understand many of my differences. Overhearing what people think when they don’t know how you identify can make it scary. And so can history of past scolding reactions from family. I think it’s normal to want to tell others because it can be less of a burden. Less hiding and sneaking things. (I still listen to queer content in headphones because I don’t want to be overheard, I log out from TV apps because I don’t want family stumbling onto my saved queues or history or recommendations of all the gay stuff I watch). Sexuality in many cultures can already be such a taboo topic. Even the most open minded people get tripped up or embarrassed about sexual topics sometimes. There can be a lot of emotions even just with general topics and comfort levels. Some people will shame others if they aren’t secure with those topics. Ultimately it’s your own decision. If it helps you to know, not everybody practices coming out. And that’s okay too. Whatever you’re most comfortable with for your own life. It’s up to you. Try and make sure you’re safe. It’s a lot of private emotions and topics to share if you might not fully trust that your parents can handle your emotions well. You don’t owe anybody that information. But it’s understandable you’d want your parents to know more about you in that way and to be able to begin to understand. But you don’t have to feel pressure to do it if you aren’t fully ready.

Hiii! I completely understand you! I was absolutely terrified of telling my parents that I had a girlfriend as a girl.. I live in a very old fashioned city, where theyre very homophobic, so I thought my parents would find me disgusting! But this is the girl I love, so.. I told them when I felt most comfortable and confident.

Your parents are your parents, people should love and respect you for who you are. The best way to talk to them is to tell them when you’re comfortable and confident. People should love you for you, regardless of who you love. Every person is different and has different beliefs and likes. That’s the beauty of us. I hope you’re comfortable telling your parents and i hope it goes great for you🩷🩷🩷 sending love🩷
