u/Ckinggaming5 bi, shy and wanting to die 10d ago

i suppose the first one is just like "ok neat" and nothing changes besides them being bisexual

and the 2nd one is more actively supporting them about it

tbh, this is the exact reaction I want.

I dont need a cheerleader. I just want to feel normal.

Yeah, what’s important is matching the energy of the person coming out. If they say it as a casual thing, then treat it casually. If they seem a little nervous, then give them a smile and a few nice words. If they seem really worried about your reaction, then do whatever you need to assure them that you’re not bothered.

A bit of advice I could throw in.

Don't build up this huge story in your head that your partner is going to reject and hate you for coming out and then while thinking it's basically over because of that, catch the feels for that hot coworker, who gets off on going after married people. That's gonna be a much more difficult conversation.
