You’re not the only one. I love my parents and all but I prefer to keep all my secrets and thoughts from my parents because it’s personal and none of their business. I’m not an open book myself.
I don’t tell them about my dating history, my sexuality (I’m bisexual) and all the stupid things I done during my teenage years (sending nudes).
Reason is.. it’s because I come from a Catholic family (they’re intolerant of people who are different especially the lgbt). My dad (not only is homophobic but racist too) and brothers are mostly vocal with their homophobic comments. I don’t know about my mom.
I’m scared to get a doctor check up soon because I don’t want my parents to know I’m sexually active. I done oral sex when I was 16 (I had my first boyfriend at that time.. and I’m a guy myself btw).
I have a friend who is on the same page as me about never telling his parents his dating history and such except he isn’t bisexual.
I know.. that’s a lot for me to stay but hey.. sometimes it feels good to get things off my chest anonymously.. am I right?
Hi i’m the OP. Oh I understand. I’m a girl I’m in a similar situation. I’m not bi, but my last bf is Pan. I’m not a teen anymore am in my early 20s but still feel like I can’t be my true self. But long story short I feel like a different person compared to my family and my heritage…not necessarily white washed, but like Americanized. I haven’t done hard drugs but have done weed and cigeretes.Although I don’t plan on making that a habit. I don’t regret trying these things just once, but I feel bad that my fam doesn’t know but at the same time I can’t find the right time to say anything.
I’m not a teen anymore either. I turned 21 five months ago.
If you don’t feel it’s right to tell your parents what you done, don’t tell em. Don’t feel bad about it either. Dwelling on the past is only gonna stop you from living in the moment and stop you from creating your future.
Like I said, you’re not alone. The only times I ever want to get things off my chest is to do it online than in person. It’s hard for me to communicate in person at times due to me stuttering and mumbling. I get nervous when I talk and I hate the way my voice sounds (it’s complete shit).
HELL YEAH. I love my parents more than anything but if I told them the truth about a lot of things, I don’t think they’d be able to process it. I hide a lot to appear less crazy, and to make sure they still have hope for me.
Same.
This is the OP. Lol! Yeah speaking of mental health thats like a whole other compartment that would still be hard for ne to talk about with them. But yeah I get ya.
Nobody knows any of my secrets
