Why is that the polar opposite of my grandparents calling me partner my "friend"?
We're literally engaged I-
(And we're also straight passing, so it's not like I'm with a woman and it's the same energy as "you two are such good friends!")
people only have two settings, and they are: assume everything is romantic, or deny the existence of romance altogether
Thank you! I've seen you around, you seem like a cool person.
Anygays… anyone else feel an attraction to literally everyone they meet?

And this is very true. I hate it.
Ayyy welcome
Also, I get you. My parents keep getting mad when I don’t look enough “like a girl.” And if I’m not constantly asking out guys then I’m doing something wrong. I’m just really excited to move out, I guess
I would be too, if that's how my parents were! I'm sure they mean well, but also, "It's nunya business what I look like or who I'm dating."
My parents are chill with it I knew they would be because my sister came out before me and my mom's brother is gay married and adopted my cousin so i knew they would be fine with it.
Lol, those sentences are the ones that sound weird to anyone but those of us in the LGBTQ+ community.

Either that or they want to set me up with a rich doctor man 🤢 (I can't make this shit up, they actually tried to do that)

The only thing stopping my grandpa from buying a tractor that he doesn't need cause he lives in an apartment is my grandma.
Last Saturday I came out for the first time to two of my friends! We were talking about something and they asked me if I had a Valentine, so I pretty much told them that I'm a lesbian with a hopeless crush on someone I'll never see again. They were totally cool about it, and I gotta say I was soaring after that. It feels like, around them at least, I'm now more myself.
Good! You always feel better after coming out to people that you know cares.
This chat has been dead for a while, huh? Anyways, with the help of my girlfriend and my cousin, I have reached the conclusion that I'm non-binary, and I have felt happier since testing that label out. :) (She/they/he pronouns, if you guys are wondering. :) )

not me having a fear of coming out.
That's understandable. I don't think I'm ever telling my family this. Only my online friends, my closest irl friend, my cousin, being the one family member that I trust, and my significant other get to know. It's truly understandable. hug
I'm 22 and not out to my family. It's fine. I know how it feels to wish you could tell them, but you also don't owe it to them if they aren't going to be respectful or kind.
I've only told one of my cousins too and I told her because she forgets and I know she does but thats okay because if she continues to forget she has no chance to out me to the rest of our family.
I'll probably come out to my parents once I'm an adult or move out. I think they'd be able to come to terms with it, my family is really nice, but I don't want to be under my parent's power once they know, cause psychologically that wouldn't be great I think. My extended family would probably freak out tho, it might actually be kinda funny to like bring future girlfriend to a reunion and see what everyone does lol
it's not that I have a fear of what people think once I do, its more like I just feel like deep down im lying???
I don't know if that makes any sense but—
Your identity is hard to figure out. It can change over time. It's understandable that you feel like you're lying, unsure if you'll feel the way you do in the future. It's perfectly understandable.
yeah that's more of why im afraid to come out,
it's not what people will think of me cause honestly I dont care that much.
but it is also that sometimes too
That's all fair, really. I care too much about what people think, so my school and family will not know. I don't want them to. And I can see why you feel like you're lying about it. It's hard to figure yourself out.

I totally understand that. My brain tells me I'm faking it, even though I know I'm definitely not. I don't want to come out to my family, because I feel like they'll play the "you're too young to know" card. And if I'm being honest, a part of me does worry that I am sometimes! When I'm older, more secure in my identity, and I'm doubting myself less, I'll consider coming out to my parents.
