Choosing to not come out of the closet?

What's your opinion on choosing to not come out of the closet as a bisexual woman? At least not to family or on public social media, but being out and proud around friends. Is this a damaging idea? Or is it a good idea that can protect relationships with family members unless I'm in a situation where I have to let them know (ie. If I end up in a serious relationship with another woman)

    It's 100% up to you and to whatever makes you comfortable in your life and situation. No one can, or should, judge this for you.

    Be well, and enjoy your life.

    Are you an adult? Hiding in the closet sucks. You will always have to lie about something. Not a great idea.

    I don't think there's any point in bisexuals "coming out" if they aren't or won't date the same sex. It's just attention whoring.

    If that is what you want then go ahead.

    I think if that's what you want to do then you should do it. Someones sexual orientation is not the business of their family or strangers on the internet. Unless you are dating a woman and want her to meet your family you don't need to tell them anything.

    I think it's really prudent. If/when you are in a serious relationship with another person, you may need to clarify your gender identification. Wait until it's necessary.
