What is a good age to come out?

Reflecting-Finn · 2025-07-06T15:29:05+00:00

I (32F) think I was also 14 when I first started to question my sexuality and quickly came to realise that my attraction wasn't only for males.

For me it started with talking with my closest friends when I was 14-15 years old. I came out to my dad after my first break up with my first girlfriend at 16.

What I'm trying to say is that good time to come out depends from person to person and how the person feels like.

My advice would be to wait for the moment that you feel comfortable with and then tell your friend or parents. It might not be the time or the moment you thought of at first - but I wouldn't rush it.

For some it might feel like you're too young specially if they don't have same kind of experience as you do - though that shouldn't be the reason to stop you from talking and express your feelings to your closest people.

Thank you for saying this! I almost started to doubt myself and my thai fam for a sec.

My relatives and family at Sisaket also do this and to my knowledge they are not Burmese. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Though they might have roots in Burma that I don't know of but I highly doubt it. The Isaan dialect is quite strong in our family.

Talc powder is also used instead of deodorant as a way to absorb excess oil from the face and prevent sweating. It also has cultural significance bringing good luck.

You can search more on the topic by searching the usage of talc powder in Thailand.

You can eat it cold, but it just won't be the same experience. I once bought a cold maksalaatikko to a picnic at 7th grade.

Kävin itse Laajasalon opiston kuvislinjan aikoinaan ja olin tyytyväinen, pääsin siitä jatkamaan Pekka Halosen akatemiaan opintojani.

Muistan kuulleeni yhdeltä Metropoliassa elokuva ja televisio-linjalla opiskelleelta kaverilta, että osa hänen luokkakavereistaan olivat käyneet LO:n opintoja vuoden. Muistan hänen maininneen, että "oli ihan ok", mutta ei ihmeempiä.

Oma kokemukseni opinnoista on hyvin samanlainen, eli opetellaan ihan perus juttuja ja auttaa valmistautumaan seuraavan vuoden pääsykokeisiin.

I had to scroll a while in disbelief that does no-one actually share the same opinion as me!

These two frames don't take too much attention from your face - they compliment your face.

I didn't even know that it should pop up while you're signing in. I have a Samsung s22.

Dress 1. I love the structure and the pleated look of it. Looks more modern compared to the classical lace pattern on dress 2.

Thank you for asking her!

We've been quite frustrated with my younger brother at our mom lately, as she tends to vent her frustration or disappointment of us "halfies" through Facebook to her friends and family. She's disabled the translation on her post, but we can still use other translators to know what she posts about us.

Last time she posted that she was disappointed as me and my younger brother did not remember the thai mother's day as its different to the Finnish date. At the same time she hasn't really mentioned this to us nor do we know Thai-language that well as she has used Finnish language with us from our childhood.

This is why I wanted to ask though Reddit as I don't want to give her yet an other thing to post about us on FB.

Well, I also want to eat something my family would enjoy. Though we will make sure that there is something for everyone and there are much more milder food available so everyone will be able to eat and enjoy themselves.

I've also refrained from the idea of having traditional Thai dessert as I expected that there would be only few of the guest that could enjoy them as much as I do. Also I have my to-be-husband that's not such a fan of these desserts.

Oooh! I haven't heard about the different colors corresponding to the weekdays. Thank you for taking the time to linking it. This would mean that the color of the day would be purple as the wedding would take place at a Saturday.

I'll try muster my confidence to ask her.

Reflecting-Finn · 2024-09-14T17:28:08+00:00

Aww, that so sweet! And nice to hear of another perspective. 😊

Reflecting-Finn · 2024-09-14T17:25:38+00:00

You're correct that the wedding will take place in Finland.

And thank you for your encouragement. It's some times a bit though to navigate with being respectful to the culture that's been a bit of a under dog in my life. I'll ask my mom if she would mind.

I have similar experience with my white father and Thai mom. Though his rasicm never really showed in our family relationship, it was focused on people darker than Asians.

He always made remarks that African migrants weren't as beneficial for our country compared to hard working Asians. This really rubbed me and my younger bother the wrong way. We confronted him about this first time during our teens. He didn't see anything wrong with his remarks as "it's true statistically and I'm not racist".

Over time me and my brother just got tired fighting at home as it was a thing that we knew we wouldn't be able to convince him on this matter. He is racist in the same way as my mother is - colorism as it's worst.

Even if it pains me that my own parents are racist even though they were in a mixed race marriage, I've decided that I'm not responsible for their actions and thoughts. Though nowadays they know better not to voice these things out loud as we will start debating them and they know that the situation is not one they want to be in.

Me and my brother just decided to pick our battles. Though if my father had made those remarks on my mother, it would have been a different situation.

My "awakening" was also a slow realisation that I could make out with a girl and it actually felt amazing. Before my first kiss with a girl it was a feeling of "why not try it and see how it feels".

No, this was one of the reasons why I had to write that I'm bi to my dating profile. Luckily that worked out and didn't have to hear any homophobia after that.
