Hey everyone, I'm just trying to come to terms with my sexuality. I'm bisexual, and even though I'm basically out to everyone, I still have trouble validating myself and I'd like to get better with that. There's a pride event in October where I'm living and I'd like to go, but I'm still uncomfortable with the idea of expressing my sexuality. I'll say I'm bi if I asked, but it honestly feels weird to say it. I identify with the label, so it's not that, I just don't have any queer friends and so I don't have anyone to discuss queer events and/or my experiences. I just need people to talk to I guess.
Hello Claire, Maybe there is some kind of LGBT Association in your residence area that accepts volunteer work. You could apply to be a volunteer there, and with that, you could meet new LGBT people .
Yeah I feel the same way. I came out late in life and have no Gay friends really. I shouldn't say that though I do have a BI friend and I can talk to him about things. So this Forum does help and there are people to chat with here. I think you should make it a goal to try and find a Bisexual friend that you'll feel comfortable talking to. Pride events aren't my thing, I would like to go to one eventually though. Social media or even dating apps could help in finding someone in your area. Just explain your looking for a friend who would want to go out to lunch and talk about it. Finding an LGBT group like someone else mentioned is a good idea too. I think you want to find someone who is BI though, they will be able to relate to you the best. my friend is BI and like I said I can talk to him about anything, but I want to talk to someone that is Gay because I know I would relate better with them. I also would note I have nothing against BI or Lesbians or Trans people I love them all. I just think matching up with someone just like you that has a better understanding of the feelings that you would like to discuss makes a better connection.
