I feel like some LGBTQ+ people need to hear that it isn’t their fault if their loved ones don’t accept them.
And it isn’t. No matter what the reason is, what they say to you, any circumstances at all- it isn’t your fault. It isn’t ever your fault.
If they love you, than they should accept you- Even when it’s confusing or hard for them, they should always support you. That’s on them, not you.
I’m really sorry if you’re going through this right now. I truly hope that they come around, and soon. But in the mean time, please remember to never blame yourself.
Very beautiful and wholesome message! I just felt like sharing it cos I think this can help a lot of people to feel better. I know to me it does! ^^
Allow me to tell you my story...
I'm bi, but I'm also pan and sapiosexual. ( it's the people who feel attracted by the intelligence and moral qualities of someone) and for most of my life I didn't know it.
I first noticed it all this when was 15, but back in the 90's there wasn't any info about it. The community I lived in was a small, religious town, where sexuality other than straight was taboo and wrong.
If you weren't straight, they looked at you like if you had killed a ton of kids or something like that. So I always felt like a weirdo in my teens for feeling attracted and having a crush for both female and male cartoon characters or celebrities. And I felt bad for liking them them that way, and that feeling tortured my soul for years.
I didn't wanted to live like that feeling I was a freak. So I tried research, to look up for answers. And it was a long journey to research for the info and read, to analyze and to discover what I liked on the sexual field and why and what I didn't like.
First I thought I was ace cos I haven't had interest on anybody from my school. But then I realized I could have a crush on actors/actresses & I liked both male and female anatomy.
When I was 19, I felt in love with a female friend I met online, although I never told her about it...cos I knew she was straight and liked men. But at least that helped me to I realize I was bi.
Then I researched more and I realized I was pan cos I'm mainly attracted to intelligence, voice and personality. Like, if someone has a voice and personality I love, I'll fall in love and I'll be attracted sexually to this person regardless of their gender or how they look like.
Then when I had the info I tried tell my family and friends I thought they loved me and cared about me and I thought they weren't going to judge me. My old friends from highschool and my family. But they did judge me.
My female friends didn't wanted to hang out with me as they used to or undress on sleepovers when I was around, because they thought I was going to have a crush on them, they felt uncomfortable around me. And my male friends said I was gross and greedy, and didn't want to talk with me again.
So yeah, I lost the the few friends I had for talking about that..
My sister and my mom also judged me. They tried to take me to a phycologist because they thought something was wrong with me. And even nowadays, I'm not sure if they love me the same way anymore....
Later, when I was 23, I fell in love with a guy who I met online, but didn't wanted to date me because he said one day I'd fall in love with a pretty girl and I'd abandoned him for her. And he didn't talk to me after that.
And since then I never talked again about that subject...
And every day I wonder...if I did the right thing with talking about that kind of stuff...
But what is done, can't be undone.
Now I have no friends or anybody I have a close relationship with, and I always feel terribly lonely..
And every day I regret of that and I wish I never had talked about it to the people I cherished or cared about.
And I don't know why I talk about this now...
But I think I feel the need to talk about this because people need to know:
🌈Being pan/bi or sapiosexual doesn't mean you like promiscuity and that you love to bunk with random people every time you have the chance.
🌈It doesn't mean either that if you fall in love with someone and get in a romantic relationship with that someone, one day you'll leave that someone for someone else.
🌈It doesn't mean you don't like monogamous relationships. Nor that you will cheat on your loved one.
That's not true! I mean look at me! I'm 31 years old and I have never had a sexual relationship in my life. It's because I would like to wait for the right person who would love me the way I am and who I can love the same way!
It's something that I've been dreaming almost a lifetime: Finding true love! And having a relationship based on mutual love and respect.
And I don't care of how much I need to wait, cos a dream as beautiful and awesome as this worths the wait.
It worths the wait!!
