Does anybody else get so sick of coming out? I don't even quite know how to explain, it's even when I know someone will be accepting, I wish I didn't have to at this point. I just want to be be out, not have to come out if that makes any sense. Does anybody else ever feel this way?
I hated my original coming out process, but ever since, it's been pretty easy. I tend to just bring it up in conversation casually, and people go 'oh, are you gay?' and I just tell them I'm Bi/Pan. Once you've told everyone that matters, it gets way easier. I understand your frustration, though. I hope things get better soon xx
I don't really get tired of it. In fact, mentioning my sexuality/romantic orientation played a big part in my LGBT advocacy. I do so to spread awareness of people who are like me in that sense. If I mention my sexuality/romantic orientation to those who never heard of me, doesn't that count as "coming out?"
I have felt that way a lot. I am constantly worrying about if people in my life would treat me differently of they knew I was gay. There are a lot of people who may or may not know, and it is stressful. Coming out to people is always very stressful and scary. I wish everyone just knew.
I'm against the idea of coming out again every time I meet a new group of people. If my sexuality happens to come up in conversation and you didn't know about it or it doesn't match your assumptions, don't mistake that as me 'coming-out'. Coming out was something I did back in college. You can ask me about my sexuality, and I'll tell you. But don't think that I have to announce myself to you like some sex offender that just moved into the neighborhood.
Thanks for the responses guys. To clarify what I meant, I want (most) people to know my sexuality, I just wish I didn't have to tell them or for it a big deal. I just wish all the people who I feel should know would know and I could be done with actually coming out. I'm just sick of actually having to tell people for the first time.
As someone just daring to come out publicly at 40 u feel the same. ---------- Post added 26th Jul 2015 at 05:58 PM ---------- Personally I wish right now that I knew how people were taking it I came out in the last wek and have silence
I hate telling people I like girls because they always make it such a big deal and talk to me about it everyday. I'm glad they're supportive but my sexuality isn't the biggest part of me!
I wish I didn't have to come out. If my brother can just bring home his girlfriend, why is it questioned when I do the same? I wish we lived in a world that you could like whom you like and there is nothing abnormal about it. No labels. No questions. Just love. Accepted, kind, happy love.
I feel this! I'm constantly having to re-come out to people because no one will take me seriously! Especially straight men!!! As for when I meet new people I try to be be as open as possible, but it really depends on how comfortable I feel around them/what sort of setting it is.
