After about three years of sobriety I started being honest about my sexuality and I found out I am bisexual.
It hurts me alot because i can’t accept it and in the same Time I can’t deny it.
I feel nervous and ashamed whenever someone talks about sex, specifically my friends and the jokes they make about others sexual orientation. I am not in peace with myself and the world around me.
Can somebody help me?

I do feel for you but there is no shame about whatever sexuality you are. It’s 2020 a year that has seen massive loss of life so if someone mocks others tell them to get a grip.
Take care

Im so sorry youve been pushed into feeling like this, especially from the people you care about. Nothing makes change harder than just trying to live honestly with yourself and being met with fear of backlash. I cant tell you what will be right for you and how to handle this, but i can say all truth has a boiling point. If this comes to surface, think about how you want to approach all the reactions, good or bad. Youre in control and can lead how this plays out regardless. But who knows, you might also change their minds and make them think twice about shallow comments, maybe change their head or heart.
