Lets try this out, I'm from SoCal

Discussion in 'The Welcome Lounge' started by Bi Since Birth, Jan 30, 2012.

  1. Well. I found this site months ago when I was starting to come out to a few close friends and just reading a few stories on here helped give me the strength to just do it. I have since come out to 10 people. all close friends, one was a guy I was seeing....coming out as bi to a guy guy your dating who thinks you're gay counts too right? ...more on how that bombshell went over later :confused:

    Anyways, thought I'd say hello and introduce myself briefly and why I'm here.

    I'm bisexual and I have known it since as long as I can remember.
    I didn't accept it fully until recently, and go through stages of self doubt.
    I'm afraid to tell my parents even though I know I will have their full support.
    I am quite the stereotypical hetero male in most ways.
    I am very proud of my bisexuality and wish it wasn't so taboo so I could wear it on my sleeve.

    Why am I here?
    I need to vent to people who may know where I'm coming from. I want to help others get through what I went through/am going through. I'm hoping the same pang of confidence I experienced while reading a few stories on here the first visit will revisit me.

    :smilewave

    I guess thats good enough for a short intro huh?

    I had to Google what SoCal was.
    Can Americans stop abbreviating names of places please? We dont all know the states within your country as well as you do!

    Welcome.
