I’m very anxious. In a couple of weeks I’ll be telling my coming out story as a public speech. It’s hard enough coming out, but I’ve committed to sharing my story to over 100 people I don’t know.
The story includes my journey from Straight, to Questioning to Mostly Straight to finally realizing I’m BI (and always have been). I’ll be revealing some very personal story points as part of it. So it’s a little scary.
I think I just need my friends here to offer some words of encouragement.

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.I'm convinced that truth has great value. I couldn't prove it; it's more like an act of faith that truth is reality and humans would prosper in a real world. Anyway, the very best of luck on the day. Maybe you'll share the text with us? I'd love to read it because I'm bi too.

You got this. They are strangers and you probably won’t run into them again, so don’t worry. Keep in mind they don’t know what you are going to say, so if you forget something or don’t say something correctly, again don’t worry. When I speak publicly, I try to keep it short, to the point, add some humor, and leave plenty of time for questions and answers.

I understand. I came out as Bi to my family just two years ago, at age 57. I always knew it, too.
Your story will help and encourage others who may be questioning, struggling, or needing the courage to come out. Keep that in mind, and you’ll be fine. I wish I had heard more voices as a younger woman; my life might be different now. You are making a difference!
