Hi there!
I (19F) walked in on my sister (17F) and her “best friend” during their sleepover - I did knock, but when they didn’t respond, I thought they were asleep. They didn’t see me, thankfully, but now I’m wondering about how to handle it.
I am gay, and so is my brother, so she knows that I personally would have no issues (and would even celebrate with her), but I’m afraid that she’s caught up in coming to terms with her identity, despite her relationship with her friend.
I just don’t know how to approach this with her, which is ironic because I feel like I should have some valuable perspective on this. Should I pretend I don’t know anything until she’s ready to tell me? Or should I subtlety try to give her openings to tell me or let her know that I know?
I know this is difficult, no matter how supportive the people around you are, so I don’t want to pressure her, but I also want her to have an outlet/person to share with about this. I don’t want her to feel like she has to hide it, but I also don’t want to make her uncomfortable.
Any advice is welcome, thank you!
