I'm finding myself coming out to people then when people say that's okay you are who you are I find myself trying to bring the subject up as much as possible with them and I wish I wouldn't. I hope l don't come across as overbearing. I'll be and eventually they might be like :tantrum:
I understand where you're coming from. I too sometimes get the urge to talk about lgbtq topics for hours.
For myself, not really. I don't feel the need to talk about my sexual orientation or anything related to it, on an ongoing basis after I came out. I can see why one would want to keep talking about it a short while after, but at some point, the need to talk about ones sexual orientation should subside. How come you feel you need to continue talking about it or bringing it up?
When you talk about it, and listen to what others have to say, what feeling(s) do you experience? Do you feel that it helps you to reaffirm who you are? (*hug*)
I don't think its weird...when you find somebody who is OK with your sexuality, its natural to open up to that person bout that side of you. I don't necessarily talk bout LGBT issues, but I do talk a lot bout my gf.
Once somebody mentions to you that they accept and support you, that should be enough of a confirmation where you can let go, and just be yourself around them. In other words, talk about dating, finding/having a boyfriend/girlfriend, and don't she away from talking about your life. You don't want to overdo it either, because it is possible that someone might say to you, 'enough.' There are limits to everything, but you can gauge that in the reaction of others. As long as you see that others are engaged and are listening it should be fine.
I'll make a wild guess here, and assume that it's because said person's reaction, was not as grandiose as you've expected. They didn't react in shock, ask a lot of questions, etc... And you are pushing the topic again, to simply get them to react a bit more strongly towards you coming out. After all, i'm guessing it was quite hard for you to do so, it was something big and meaningful, and in return you got a simple "yeah okay, cool". As said before, don't push the subject too much. Be open and do talk about related stuff, but don't actively force the other person to acknowledge your sexuality, as that will most certainly push them away.
