Queer impostor syndrome?
So I recently started identifying as pansexual after identifying as bisexual for quite a while. But I have only recently come out online as being anything but straight. I don’t have anyone around me irl who is lgbt so I have been kind of trying to navigate on my own in secret, as I know many others have.
I struggle with this idea that I don’t feel like I am truly a part of the community, I guess? Like sometimes I feel like because I have the potential to be happy in a straight relationship, that I’m an imposter to the queer community...
I’m curious to know if anyone else who is bi/pan (or any other sexuality) has felt the same way before? Or am I just overly paranoid lol
Reading all these answers is really reassuring. I feel like my biggest thing is feeling “worthy” of the community. Because of my ability to have a heterosexual relationship I feel like somehow that invalidates all of those in lgbtq+ who have struggled and fought for their place in the world. I don’t know... anyway, I gotta thank you guys for ...... reply
