About a year ago I figured out I am bi. A few months ago I came out to my parents. They said I had nothing to be afraid of and that they are accepting about that stuff but they think since I've never been in a relationship I don't know. They wanted to know why I "thought" I was bi but we don't really talk about dating and crushes so I just said it was a character from a book. Coming from me it was believable but they don't believe me. The best part is that I am "inexperienced" so to speak because they don't allow me to date, guy or girl. So I told them and they didn't believe me. Typically when someone comes out to their parents it's because they've thought it over and know for sure. I guess that somehow slipped their mind but it is just really frustrating. My friends know and they accept it, even my Christian friends. I don't understand why they don't believe me. I gave up trying to tell them and we haven't talked about it since. It's like I never even told them.

I'm sorry you don't feel heard or understood.It's possible that their perception of you doesn't reflect the you that you are becoming. It will take time for them to get know the real you. Until you enter the dating world, I doubt they will pay much attention to your love interests.It sounds like it's frustrating for now, but when you start dating I think they will get it.
ReplyYou don't have to explain yourself to your parents. You already told them. That is enough. You know yourself. Be true to yourself.
