My sister doubts me?!?!

My parents have the same problem,but it wouldn't be wise to prove it...I think you should just give her time...

 

Maybe it's time for boyfriend then...:icon_wink

 

hmmm... i agree with berileos i guess. dont do something you wouldnt normally just to prove that youre gay. be yourself and, in time, shell see that you really are sure.

 

I agree with Asteriod's advice - you just have to try and keep talking to her. However, if she still doesn't believe you, all you can do is give her time. It may well be that she won't believe you until you do get a girlfriend - in which case you may just have to accept that you've come out as much as you can, and that there's not much more you can do. I think that other people often think of it as a phase, and sometimes the only thing that will get rid of this belief is time, I'm afraid, as annoying as that is. I don't know why other people always presume to know more about our thoughts and feelings than we do; it really perplexes me sometimes.

 

your not the only one that has a family member that doubts you.

my brother says the same thing. he says "you've never been with a guy so how can i believe you?"

if only he knew the things i did.

 

My dad thinks this.
And i feel ive got to prove it.
But im not going to rush anything just to prove something i already know.
Just forget it, and when you do get a boyfriend she won't be surprised.

 

i don't feel like i have to prove it to him at all. just telling him was enough. whether he wants proof or not doesn't change the fact that i'm gay. like henson says, at least they won't be surprised when you do have a lover.

 

Tell her you kissed a girl. It'll shut her up, at least.

 

u mean guy^^

 

i like that one. and if anything goes wrong, just blame ^him^



seriously, id just let it be. you know its not a phase, but you cant convince her of that, she has to believe it on her own. sadly, no one can change that.

 

That's usually what we do anyway =]. But yes, like others have said it's better off if you let her be. Like the saying goes, you can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink. This means that you can tell her over and over but she's not going to believe it until she's ready or allows herself to believe it.

 

shes just in denial over it as your her little bro and she thinks that if she ignores it then it will go away. Hey didnt many of us try and ignore we were gay and hoped it would go! I know i did! just give her time to get used to the idea and accept that this is the way u are.

 

i know, I did sign the pledge...twice.

 

This may have been said, i dunno i didnt read all the responses, butttt heres what i think:

Since shes older she may think that you're in that age where you're jumping from phase to phase, etc. In my opinion i think you should write her a letter addressing what shes doing, and explain why you know you're not straight, and so on. sit her down, have her read it, then talk it out. Im having a similar problem with a relative and thats what im going to do.
