    People use tumblr as an escape and a means for making themselves feel free and happy, or at least supported.

    I have a lot of IRL friends that follow me on tumblr, and I like that they follow me, because not many people do. When they reblog my stuff, I feel happy.

    However, I am not out to them. I post stuff about bi-sexuality and bi-pride, but never personally. Ever. It's a lot of "bi people" and "them". But I want the support...

    Ugh, I don't know what to do. :help:

    Why don't you post that you are bisexual? Are your friends homophobic? If not then either tell them one by one, in person, or post on tumblr about your bisexuality.

    They are not homophobic, but it might be awkward coming out as bi. They might think I am straight but wanting to be bi "because it's cool".

    I'm in the same position on Tumblr. I reblog all this bi and pride stuff, but it's never personal. I've been contemplating coming out on tumblr for quite some time now actually, I just have a few friends IRL that I see every day in school and I'm not sure if I want them to know just yet. I have a few posts in my drafts so I can just go in and post when I feel the time is right

    I just had the perfect opportunity to come out on Tumblr, but I didn't take it. Not now that my bff from back home, a very Christian person, is following me. Argh...
