ugh, this is why i'm too afraid to even consider "coming out", because i don't want to have to deal with possibly losing friends & family, homophobia on the one hand, and biphobia on the other. who am i going to have left who's on my side?

NOPE cannot deal with that no thank you.

I know this might not be the best thing to say (or the best person to hear it from), and I don't know your situation or the people around you, but honestly, my friends and family have mostly been amazing. Admittedly I didn't so much come out of the closet as slowly come to the realisation that the closet was a lie (read: I was never exactly closeted, I just didn't develop much of a sexuality until my late teens and my thoughts when I first kissed a girl were "Huh. Okay.") but... just a reminder that, while the world sucks in a lot of ways, there are people who will be supportive and good to you.

Again, I don't know your experience or your family/friends, but given how much emphasis is (rightly) put on the dangers of coming out, it felt like I should offer the other side of it. The only family member of mine who really treated me differently was my granny, who was batshit insane anyway, and now that I'm out of school read, have no social life, I come into contact with way more supportive, friendly people than I do homophobes, biphobes, and bullies.

This was probably entirely unwarranted and unwanted. I'll be in the corner.

I don't think this was unwarranted at all. It's always helpful to share experiences.

Ditto that, anon. I've come out to most of my friends and some people at work, but not to my family, because my family is full of nuts. My father once said, "All lesbians are d*kes" and another time flat-out said, "Yes. I'm a homophobe." One of my sisters said, "I could never look at any of my friends who said they were gay the same way ever again." My other sister was even worse, brushing off my coming-out as a drunken confession.

So, nope, not gonna open up about being bi for a VERY long time. I have a feeling I'm going to be in the closet until the day my parents die. Which, given the longevity on both sides of the family, means I'll be about 65 when that happens.

NA

That sucks :( I'm in a similar situation with my family. I'm 37 and still haven't come out to my family.
