Rainbow braclet
Okay I KNOW I’m overthinking but I just can’t help it. I 21f recently went to my first pride celebration and I had so much fun. I have a complicated relationship with my sexuality. I don’t feel like any label fits me very well right now. I’ve just come to the realization that I can spend the rest of my life with whoever I want (growing out of a small town mindset). I feel very insecure talking about it because I’m confused myself. I had an awkward encounter with one of my friends when she called me straight in front of a big group of her friends even though I’ve never claimed to be straight. She knows i have been with women in the past but has still insisted on calling me straight often. I never spoke up because I never knew what to call myself anyways but I never agreed with her. Embarrassed I did say that I wasn’t straight in front of everyone and she acted almost like she didn’t believe me, and just claimed to be too drunk to remember me being with any woman. It felt bad to be doubted in front that big of a group, especially since it was my first time saying I wasn’t straight in front of a group of people. Prior, I would just say that I didn’t believe in labels and even though I still don’t feel like I fit into any specific label I know im not strictly straight. That was what I was afraid of happening if I was to say that I’m not straight, is that people wouldn’t believe me and I would feel like I need to prove my gayness to them. At pride, somebody tied a rainbow bracelet around my wrist, and I love it. I can’t just take it off. I’d have to cut it off and I wouldn’t be able to wear it again. I wanna keep it on, but then people at work and my family would say something. I already know my family is homophobic, that I can deal with, but it’s my friends and coworkers I’m worried about. Most of them already know that I’m not straight, but it’s also just inviting people to ask questions that I don’t know answers to. Would you wear the bracelet or would you just throw it away?
