Hi this is such a stupid question. I wanted to post this week as its my first opportunity since coming out to share who I am in this kind of space. I did a search and everyone is so young and beautiful it's just destroyed my confidence. The question is, is it a positive experience or could it knock my confidence? How did it go for you? And yes I'm massively overthinking it x

Anyone find being femme particularly limiting as everyone thinks you're straight, like forever! It's like the whole world decided your sexuality for you

Hi so I'm 54 and just came out as bi to my daughter and friends. I've been married for over 30 years to a man, he always knew about my sexuality and I have had a relationship with a woman before. I don't know why I felt I had to do it now but I feel such an immense relief. Its not like my relationship will change but I needed to be honest. If I'm really honest I think my preference is mostly women while my husband is a companion we've not had sex in over a year and for years when we did it wasn't satisfying in the same way as being with a woman. To put in context I've only had 3 real relationships in my entire life. In many ways I miss the life I could have had. But on a more positive note I've never felt more like myself than since I told people. I don't even think I'm asking anything I just hope this is a safe space I can say how I feel and find others like me
