r/pansexual

Hi there wonderful people,

I am new here so I hope I dont say anything silly.

My boyfriend is pansexual and we never really talked that much about that. I personally dont think that labels are that important.

I would like to understand my boyfriend better in his identity and experience.

What means being pan for you? What nuances are there? What stigmas or stereotypes did you face and what experiences are somewhat common?

I dont mean to offend anyone, I am genuinely curios.

Anytime I was attracted to someone, I was constantly asking things like, "Wait what does this say about me?" "Does this mean I'm gay?" "Am I just straight with gay tendencies?" "Am I bi and in denial?"

And then upon finding out I can just be attracted to someone and not worry about gender or what it said about me at all, it's like a weight just fell right off my shoulders.

What’s everyone doing? :) just curious, I want to celebrate in a way that’s fun and meaningful. I usually go to the parade near me but want to switch things up. Any suggestions? Particularly places or things to do but appreciate all suggestions <3

I have no friends but my family is accepting of LGBTQ+. But despite them being accepting I can't bring myself to come out.

I been thinking about telling my very supportive male therapist that I am pansexual. I'm not sure what to say though... he suspects it and I think it might be true for me. What can I do? I have a wellness journal and I have been stressing out a bit about it. please send all the goods vibes. Thank you for reading, meow meow. :3
