Scared

Posted in Group: 

It's only been a few short months since I finally admitted to myself that I am attracted to girls. This realization had me crying for days before I finally told one of my closests friends about it and after he gave me his complete support I finally began to feel a bit better. Since then I have told only four other people who i knew would accept for who I am and not for they want me to be. The problem is I have yet to tell my best friend or anyone in my family. My family is filled with a bunch of hardcore devout Christians and according to their faith I will be punished in the burning pits of Hell for my "sin." I haven't told my bestfriend yet because as much as she may not want to admit she is a bit of a homophobe and i don't think she would be able to accept it. To be honest, I still have days where i wish it would go away. Days where all i can hope is that i end up with a guy because i know that although my bisexuality is not a bad thing, it's going to hurt my family. I want to tell them so bad, but I'm so scared that when i do I'll lose all of them. Somebody? Anybody? Words of adive? Words of wisdom? I can't really talk to the people that i have told this about to because although they are very supportive, they don't actually know what I'm going through. I guess I need to know that I'm not alone in this. Please, someone? I don't know what to do anymore. I've never been so sad and alone. I appreciate any advice someone may have.

It is a big change in your heart. Try to take it easy and do not put so much pressure on yourself. There is no need to rush with your decision, when the time is right you will know how to proceed. Wishing you happiness. God bless you.

I know exactly what your going through. My family is full of christians and I am as well. The problem is I've been attracted to girls and boys ever since I could remember. I was to young to know about sex so I thought it was normal and it wasn't until high school that I became more aware that not everyone felt that way and that it wasn't "normal". I'm still struggling with my feelings and I don't know how I'm supposed to feel about it. I don't want to come out at all to my family because they would completely disown me. My advice is that you stay true to yourself and dont hold everything in or you will explode! I know what your going through and ill be lending my support to you.

Best of luck,

Lola

I am a christian as well. I have myself fallin in love with a wonderful women, however my christian friends dont believe in that. I believe in Jesus, but i dont believe in how christians treat others that have a differnt sexual prefrences. You know in the bible it talks about men not being with men, however where dose it say women cant be with women.my best friend I had told her how i was feeling and she told me to put it in jesus hands. and I have. I suggest you do the same, ask him and her will find the one for you, he makes our paths so he will lead you the right direction
