    I'm so glad to be here. For many months I've been searching for a place much like this one, where I can vent my concerns, frustrations, and experiences with being bisexual. I love being Bi, and I am overly proud of who I am. Some people who I thought were my friends call me very derogatory names, which is forcing me back into the closet. I don't brag about my sexuality, but if somebody asks me I'll be honest. It turns out that honesty is the best and worst trait to have. I'm afraid that my family will judge me, and I'm glad I found a place that honestly feels like home. Thank you.

    Hi Shyllen! Welcome to EC!:slight_smile: People who can't accept you because you just happen to be bi aren't really friends. You shouldn't let them dictate your actions. You just need to be comfortable being you.

    Hey, and welcome to EC. :slight_smile: I have to say, if those people call themselves your "friends" but treat you like that, I don't really see how you can call them "friends". :confused: Might be time to take a look at them and figure out whetherthey can really be called friends or not.
