Hi! I'm an 18 year old girl and I've just graduated high school. I'm bisexual and I've known this for quite a long time but I realized this in April, when I had a serious crush on my sister's friend. In the first week of July I was drunk and told my friends about it. They were really supportive, so I assumed my other friends also would react the same way. I then told a very good friend about this. She has been trying really hard to support me, but it feels like she's trying not to be awkward with me, and that makes it even worse. She is a really good friend but it seems like she's somewhat homophobic even though she doesn't show it. Before I came out to her, we used to talk almost every day for over an hour, but now it seems like she's avoiding me. Maybe I am overthinking it but that's just how it feels. She did not reply to my texts, she left them on seen and she didn't pick up my call. Now I feel like it's so bad being bisexual that those who were close to me are now ignoring me and don't want to talk to me. But it is who I am so why can't they just accept it?

Hello there.
Firstly well done for coming out that’s fantastic, my son also came out as bi a couple of months ago and I came out as a lesbian 8 years ago and it’s never easy as you are forever coming out and it’s never easy.
I would have a heart to heart with your friend and reassure her that your still the same person and you value your friendship a great deal and let her know that just because she’s a girl doesn’t mean you fancy her and that you fancy every girl that you see .
