Will people see me differently because of my sexual orientation?

It depends on the person; when I came out to my friends it wasn't that big of a deal because they saw it as okay and many of them were lgbt as well, but I know if I came out to my parents they would see me differently. There's no one answer fits all, it depends on you, the other person, and your relationship with them.

I wish I could tell you no, but that might not always be true. The world is changing though, and it seems to be less and less of a problem. A lot of people are accepting, but there are some who do not believe in anything other than heterosexuality. It all depends on the person, honestly, and I'm sorry about that. But you are not different or abnormal because of your sexual orientation. Just be you, and don't be ashamed of it.

The short answer is yes. People will see you differently when you come out. However, that is not always a bad thing. Some people will judge you, some people won't like it. Not everyone in the world is going to agree with you. That being said you deserve to be treated with respect no matter what. They don't have to accept you but you should require tolerance. Only come out if you feel safe, being in the closet does not mean you are ashamed of yourself. There will be people who see you as strong and brave. They will see that you have accepted yourself, because once you accept yourself it really won't matter how anyone else sees you.

I’d like to say no as that’s the humane answer, but as someone who is LGBT+ I can say minimal people have looked at me differently. It’s a very, very slim percentage although there’s the occasional lack of understanding. It is always possible to change the views of someone, if they saw you as a valuable person before- they surely still will now.

Well, they might. I've only come out to 2 people outside of website like this. Both of those people took it well and only treat me a little different (like asking about any cute girls on top of asking about boys). But i know that other people's experiences have been very different. It depends on the person you come out to. Some people will freak out but others will just shrug and say okay. You don't need to come out all at once, or at all if you aren't comfortable with it. Hopefully the people around you will still be good to you

It depends on the individual. Many of them support them wholeheartedly. Some of them don’t. Here at 7cups, no one will see you differently. We are a group of compassionate people who care and want to help. No one should ever be in a closet. It gets toxic sometimes. And I understand why people do that. They are still a bunch of people who don’t support us. So it’s everyone’s different approach to the perspective. But in the end, I’d like to say that everyone deserves to love and to be loved. No matter your preference. Love is love.

Hey ☺️ Unfortunately this question often has many answers.. It has no definitive reply, it's important to understand people have a range of views and ideas. Some people may see you completely the same and act completely the same around you.. Some I know from my experience will even joke 'I saw it coming' 😅. Yet its a possibility some people might see you differently. Its a sad reality of the society we are raised in, certain people have views that may oppose your sexual orientation or view you differently due to it. This can be especially harmful if they're close to you. I hope you are accepted by all but it's good to acknowledge all perspectives and accept all people may not :)
