As a straight person who has a huge amount of gay friends (and very few straight friends) i know what you mean.
sometimes you feel excluded because you don't have this horrible childhood or inspirational coming out story, or they say "how would you know you are straight" (or in your case, can still pass as straight)
It seems hugely irrational, but I guess it can't be helped?
anyway i'd say its normal.
(also read your post aloud to my gay friend and his response was "wtf she is stupid" which made me want to slap him. they DO NOT get it.)
I've not had a bad coming out experience (My mum seems kinda in denial, but moving on...) and sometimes when I try to comfort someone who has, they'll turn around and say that it's not like I can understand.
Just because I didn't have a bad reaction, doesn't help the fear I felt night after night, afraid someone would just read my mind and know I like girls too.
Your friend sounds like a dick tbh. They really do not get it :L
it took him like 20 minutes to realize "oh it's similar to when gay people wish they were bi or straight so they are 'normal' and they can't be judged, except she is being 'judged' by the minority not the majority" :/
Is it normal That sometimes I don't want to be bi?
