Hi. I'm a 31 year old female & I'm slowly coming out to my friends & family as bi, though i think i'm closer to the female end of the spectrum right now. I've told both of my parents & my brother, as well as 5 friends. I've been careful not to tell anyone who's going to spread it around to people who I don't want to know yet. I guess I'm still scared to let some people know. I'm pagan & I thought THAT was hard to tell people. Now I have to tell them I'm bi on top of it. Good Goddess, what have you placed on my shoulders?!

" Nice to meet a fellow pagan. I think it's great you've told your parents, brother and five special friends. For me, parents, sisters, and friends were the biggies. It was very odd at first, but now it is all good. All the best to you. "

" I'm in my early 40's and didn't EVER come out til very recently to some friends and family members. My heartache is being in love with someone I know I can't have and I know they don't want it anymore :( I wish I knew why/what it is I've done/may have done. I am bi and I've always known it (inside) but never revealed that til just last year and still get scared about saying to certain people too. I wonder if I'll ever find someone to have a relationship with cause
like I said, the one I KNOW I'm in love with,
obviously doesn't feel the same anymore. Don't know what I can do-am willing to do anything but.... anyway thanks for this group and the chance to tell my story. "
