Re: Vent Thread

I wish I'd never come out to my parents. It was more than a year ago, and every day of my life since then, I remember how it went and get a horrible wave of embarrassment. And it's not like it's because I have anything to worry about. They were supportive, like I knew they would be, because they fully support LGBTQ rights and have openly gay friends. Our relationship hasn't changed at all. I'm just embarrassed because I can't convince myself that coming out was necessary. I've never dated a woman, and I've had no interest in dating at all for years. It should be a non-issue. But for some reason I just felt like they needed to know and now I feel embarrassed for feeling that way. I even told them it probably wasn't important because of the "don't want to date" thing, and they reassured me that it was important to them as long as it was important to me to tell them. And yet with all this, I still can't stop feeling humiliated. I wonder if they think about it as much as I do and secretly wonder why the hell I thought it was important. I just feel so stupid and I don't know how to feel better.

I'm pretty sure they think about it way less than you think.

Times I have wondered "why was coming out important to my family/friend(s)?": 0

I just remember it was and that they did and I barely bother to think about that, because it's just who/what they are.

I've never wondered why coming out (to me or others) was important to someone. Never. Of course it's important. It's a part of who you are. It's a part of your self-identity.

I mean, if someone genuinely feels it's not important, that's ok too, but I think feeling that it is important for the people in your life to know this about you, and for you to know that they accept you, is entirely normal and understandable.

Parents often want to know so many trivial, seemingly irrelevant things about their kids' lives that I am SURE when they say your coming out was important to them, they meant it, anon.
