How do I tell my family I’m seeing one/ dating someone? This might be not a big deal but growing up I was teased so much about it that I find tbh is topic very embarrassing and hard to bring up. I wish they wouldn’t tease me

I would wait until it’s more serious. Maybe a couple weeks or months depending on how many dates. Then you can bring it up confidently as a more stable relationship. Maybe they won’t tease as much and if they do you might feel more confident and their teasing will bounce off you more yk?

I had a similar experience growing up so now I just don't tell my family about that kind of thing at all lol

In my opinion, your peace is more important, but that's just me
