Hello, I've fully realized recently that I am attracted to more than just 1 gender, but I've only told my closest friend. I want to tell my family, but I don't know how. While I'm pretty sure my family would accept me, I just don't know how to phrase it, so any help would be appreciated! :icon_bigg
You wanna be as serious as possible so it doesn't come out as a joke. If they are accepting maybe just start out by telling a sibling, then moving out to your mom/dad then the other. I wouldn't suggest blurting it out over a family dinner ;D and Congrats i hope it goes well
Ironically, that is exactly how I told my mom, dad, sister, and brother-in-law and it worked fine. haha but it is different for different people. Personally, I didn't want my coming out experience to be super emotional and serious, so I came out in many not so serious ways (jokes, stories, etc.). I would say just take int to consideration your family dynamic and how you interact and come out as you see it appropriate, whether it be telling a sibling and working you way through the rest of your family members, telling a joke, or having a serious conversation. Just do it in a way that feels right.
Thanks for the assistance, I will be sure to take into consideration what you guys said, but I might have to think it over a little bit!
I dropped subtle hints until they asked me. Try to summon the courage to say something and just explain your process a bit and then tell them. I'm sure it will work out fine.
