Hello. I am in need of some help coming out. I am a bisexual and genderfluid girl. But the thing is I am scared to come out to my family. I now my family is very accepting and supportive, but I am scared that they will think that I am just saying those thing for attention and don't actually mean them. I already came out and talked about it with 2 of my closest friends and also my boyfriend and honestly to my surprise, they are very loving and supportive. I need advise on coming out. One of my brothers friends came out as bisexual earlier in the year of 2015 and my mother was happy for him, but I'm afraid that she will think I'm doing it just to seem like him; which is not true in the slightest. Please help me. -Thank you-
Have you spoken to your brother about this? Could he be there when you tell them, as support? Maybe you could come up with a few prepared answers with him so you're a bit more confident. He could help explain how your coming out is no different than his. You are your own person, with your own feelings and desire for authenticity, etc.
