lowkey i never properly came out as bi. i did kind of get outed in a sense but it was also very obvious i wasn't cishet. now i id as aro/ace and trans but still dont plan on formally coming out, and just letting time pass until i go on hormones or letting my family see that i haven't pursued a relationship in a long time and let them figure it out for themselves

Nah dude. I’m out to my friends and parents but not everyone else. I just dont see the point in letting everyone in on my business. It wasn’t a big thing when I came out- just a “fucking finally, we knew you were gay” from friends, and “you’re still you no matter what” from my parents. Very low key. It’s not something I hide but I also won’t go preaching it. If someone asks they ask but other than that I live my normal life. Tell ppl if you want or don’t tell them

i think an important part is maintaining the personal aspects of your identity, like whether or not you come out and how you express yourself and stuff. you don't have to "come out" but if it makes you feel happy and validated you can. some people do it because it makes them more comfortable (or clues others in to how to treat them, for example w/ pronouns). but yeah it's completely fine not to, it's just something people do for their own sake and happiness. :)
