so recently my parents found out I’m bi and i wasn’t too happy with how they found out. long story short they check my phone. my father has said nothing about it while my mom wants a “talk” I said I don’t think I need to talk about how I like men and women, she has asked uncomfortable questions and I don’t want to dig a deeper hole, should I have a tal?

If they already know, the isn't much to talk about tbh
But, if u feel like there being weird about it, it's probably because they don't have the full story, and their are worried that u r doing stuff that u shouldn't. So it's probably best that u sit with them and tell them, even if it uncomfortable
Easier said than done, I don’t even know how to ask, like “hey mom do you wanna talk about how I’m attracted to men?” And I don’t even know what she’s gonna say
Maybe just wait till ur parents say smth about it?
My mom wanted to talk to me about it when she found out. Can't tell you what happened cause I blacked out. I didn't want to talk to her about it, there was nothing to talk about. I was bi. (at the time) not must to discuss! Even though it sucked and was a waste of time if they keep asking just do it and get it over with. If they don't ask then great! Conversation avoided!
all of this boils down to your comfort. what i mean is you do not have to out yourself to anyone, no matter who it is. as long as you are not completely comfortable with your sexuality being known by your parents, you do not have to force yourself into having uncomfortable conversations at all.
if i were you, until and unless my parents brought up this question, i would not talk about it. if they do, you can always tell them that you have not labelled yourself yet, or simply say that the conversation makes you very uncomfortable and remove yourself from that space.
but first, gain clarity about what you want. think about whether or not your parents are liberal enough to accept you. if yes, then that is okay. but if not, focus on becoming financially independent and then out yourself only if you want to. it is always a choice.
considering the fact that they already have a bit of a hint about your sexuality, i am sure they will bring up this conversation again on their own. do not initiate anything yourself. things will figure out eventually.
Just in time.NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Absolutely not
But yes u can considering the position ur in
why would you not want to have a talk??
It’s uncomfortable and i don’t think I’ll get anywhere
I wish my parents loved me the way yours clearly loved you! /hj
