Any closeted folks here afraid of familial rejection

[sc101]

I have been having gay panic for about 2 hours. Help lol

[33rdCenturyCaveman]

My mom still hasn't accepted that me am millennial.

[Random_Guy]

I f#cking feel that.

Was not easy to tell my family I'm aromantic.
Obviously I don't know about your situation, but hang in there!

[sc101]

what happened?.................................

[sc101]

looking for serious answers, but that is cool too

[Random_Guy]

Literally nothing. My family was just like:
"Okay".

My older sister, literally the only family member I consistently like, has been supportive.

I got into an argument with my mother a while back about it, but I think that's cause she doesn't really understand it.

[33rdCenturyCaveman]

Me only half-joking. Mother has blind spot with regards to me. Can't connect my personal struggles with the struggles of my generation.

[sc101]

i think i might be bi as far as my romantic orientation is concerned. i'm asexual lol. my parents once called the priest to drive out satan from me when i stopped going to school for a while, i'm sure a part 2 of that is gonna happen lol

[Random_Guy]

Okay, so that's gonna be... rough.

[sc101]

hahaahaaaaa......sighhhhh. thanks

[sc101]

okay that's very much valid

[Random_Guy]

Sorry I can't be more helpful.

Just remember we're here for you, you're gonna get through this.

[Panqiuyan]

mine too. ..............

[Jophiel]

Me rip. My father is a pastor so even the more lesser chance I can come out. My mom has a disdain for gay people too. Only my grandmother kinda sensed that I like girls more and she's cool with it.

Shame is a very serious matter in Asian families .

[33rdCenturyCaveman]

Me never been conflicted over my sexuality but me imagine it must be similar to being left-handed, right-hand dominant, and interested in sports where those things matter.

[Panqiuyan]

i once try help my bro get a gf but the girl gave me her number instead. i blush so hard but the girl was so gorgeous

[sc101]

you asian too. rip....................

[unknown_user]

Literally nothing. My family was just like:"Okay".

Cool. In my opinion, neutral reaction is the most adequate reaction for it. It's your own business, after all. Too bad, the most of other families are much more intrusive.

[Random_Guy]

I think they're kinda used to it?
My older sister's pan, part of why she's so accepting.
So she sort of tested the waters ahead of me.

I have some relatives that know/guessed and don't take it seriously (good ol stereotype that if you like women you must want to be a man even though I'm anything but trans or questioning) or even straight up telling me to look for a guy since I'm bi and can hide it better. Ergh. After that I decided to not tell anyone else except my way younger siblings and cousins, since they also had problems with that and were happy to see someone else in the family who wouldn't approach it with gossip and weird assumptions.
