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
