#in an ideal world nobody would make any assumptions abt me or my orientation just by looking at me

[mothric]

since it's pride month and I'm an introvert with anxiety issues and this has been on my mind, here's a reminder that it's 100% okay to never come out if you don't want to. even if you're in a safe community! if you don't want to be perceived, you don't have to be! if it wouldn't be liberating for you to make a public proclamation of your identity because you're a private person who doesn't like people knowing personal things about you, least of all your romantic or sexual preferences or how you feel about gender, then don't! you don't owe anybody anything!! go forth and be an enigma my pal

#i'm never coming out to my family and it's staying that way forever and that is what i want #people know i'm bi on the internet bc i have a certain level of anonymity protecting me but irl?? #why is it anybody's business outside of a handful of close friends? #coming out would just put more eyes on me and i dont WANT eyes on me i just wanna live my little life #in an ideal world nobody would make any assumptions abt me or my orientation just by looking at me #but they are going to and that is fully their problem #jun 2021
