Hi /lgbt/. Never posted here before, I have a question. So I’m a bi dude, have known it since I was in like middle school (I’m 28). But for some reason I don’t really like sharing that information with people. It’s one reason I’ve always felt kind of alienated from the LGBT world; it seems predominantly about being out and proud and loud about your sexuality, but I kind of enjoy just being bi and to myself about it, and not discussing it with people other than potential romantic partners. I have some close friends who know I’m bi because it’s just come up in conversation, and others who have no idea because, again, I don’t really like talking about it. Is this normal? Am I still basically just in the closet? I don’t feel like I am, because my family and many of my friends know, but I also just don’t like discussing my sexuality, it just feels like a very personal thing to me. Does anyone one else feel like this? Like, my sexuality to me is about as interesting and worth sharing with others as my shoe size. Is my perspective off? Is it secret shame/self loathing? Or is it no big fucking deal and I can relax.

another bi dude here.IMO people who openly expressing their sexuality do it to:find a partner;find community;for a political reasons(to like, force society to recognise us as real people).So yeah, it doesn't really a bad thing that you don't talk about it, but if you have shady feelings, make your research about internalised homophobia.
