Hello EC! - Empty Closets - A safe online community for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered people coming out

Zooombini · 12th Dec 2011, 02:00 PM

Hi, I'm Zooombini and I'm new to EC.

I'll be 16 soon and have been considering my sexual orientation for about a year, and now I'm fairly sure I'm pansexual(Its kind of weird for me to be admitting to this to people I don't know because a lot of my close friends don't even know yet!). I came out three times to my friends, who didn't really care either way, and once to my mom but she told me to wait till I was older to decide. That was hard for me because it felt like she was rejecting me and my mom is the person I'm closest with in the whole world.

I shall leave you with some facts about me:
I'm bipolar. I don't like chocolate or sweet things in large quantities. I go to an online school. A lot of times I say things that don't makes sense, I hope you'll be patient with me!

Welcome

As a fellow pan, I can say that you don't need to have ever being in a relationship with the same sex to know or that you have to be older to know. I'm 17 and I know for certain that I am one. Be confident in who you are and your mum will come around. It sounds like she didn't blow up at least

Bienvenue!

Zooombini · 13th Dec 2011, 10:26 AM

Thank you everyone!

@Hana Solo, the problem with my mom is she believes there are straight, gay, lesbian and transgender people, but bisexuals (or others who love people of both genders) are just confused.

Welcome to EC. Don't worry about your mum. It really isn't hard to tell if you're attracted to people, and she'll come around eventually.

Zooombini · 13th Dec 2011, 07:47 PM

I think she'll come around too. I'm young so she might think its a phase or something. Thanks for welcoming me!
