advice/coming out?
sometimes i’m not sure if i should come out. i’ve known i’m bi probably since i was 13. i know my parents are homophobic. my mother basically knows but told me i was gay and i can’t be bisexual. we don’t really have a relationship or speak anymore (which i am okay with). i’ve had conversations with my father and he definitely doesn’t support. i just feel like if i come out people will assume im saying im bi to cover up being “gay.” which is not true since i’ve liked girls since i was like 5. i just like boys too. i’m 19m and live with my father atm. we don’t really have a close relationship and i don’t want to cause problems since unfortunately i need him for housing and college loans and stuff. i just wish i could be out cause i would feel a lot better. i don’t have much confidence and im generally ashamed to be myself. so that doesn’t help. any advice for how to deal with this?
