Want to show pride, but too scared.

    I recently came out to my parents... AGAIN. First, I came out as bi, then pan, and now panromantic asexual. I'm still not 100% sure about my sexuality, but I decided to stick with panro-ace and see what happens. I want to show pride in my sexuality (wear a black ring, buy asexuality pride t-shirts, etc.), but I'm scared of what my parents would say. I already told them that I'm still not 100% sure, but every time I came out, they both thought it was a phase and that I'd grow out of it. I know it sounds stupid, but I feel like they would think I'm rushing into the label too quickly. :help:

    What your parents think is not in your control. Obviously, it would appear less like a phase if you showed those outward signs, but only you know yourself and your feelings. Try to make your decisions based on those factors rather than your parents.
