HI everyone I've been going through some severe depressions lately and it's mostly been because of me not being as sure in my sexuality as normal.

I've had doubts before but I've always reached the conclusion that I like women but this time I feel like I'm gay, then I feel straight and then it changes again, it's like a root changing place all the time and it's almost too confusing to bear.

I have a girlfriend which I love, we've decided that were gonna move in together after High School if were still a couple then. but somtimes I lose that attraction I feel towards her but i still love her.

----

I have no idea what all this means since some people have thought about me being gay and asked about and I've just told them that I'm comfortably hetero.
My brother thinks it's just fear and hormones during puberty (I'm 16) that I'll go through and thinks it's just a phase since he's seen me with girls and seen the feelings I show to/with them. his take on it is that it's just irrational fear taking the form of sexual insecurity and frustration.

Please just give me your opinion! I could really need it. I have all the respect in the world for homosexuals and I stand and support for their rights but I don't want to BE one, I'm not comfortable with the thought. but then againg I'm also afraid that I'm simply denying myself into something I'm not.

hey :)
your brothers probably right... cos if u read through other posts that have the same problem as you, u would see that ppl have said its jus going through puberty and that its just a phase.
so your probably straight but a little curious :)

Your most likely straight and just curious.

Being curious is fine? Nothing to worry about mate. Nothing at all.

I would not conclude, but it is likely you are straight, but in a very confused state.
To lose the attraction is normaly in any relationship, especially when it comes to men.
Hence the metaphor that men are like rubber bands come about.


"Men are like rubber bands. When they pull away, they can stretch only so far before they come springing back. A rubber band is the perfect metaphor to understand the male intimacy cycle. This cycle involves getting close, pulling away, and then getting close again.
- Men are from mars, Women are from Venus - John Gray


Give yourself alittle downtime, to understand yourself, question yourself emotionally if you are attracted to both genders or only one.
Having doubts are normally reasons for having not understand yourself, which is very common in sexuality doubts.

But regardless, these are matters which cannot be rushed, and should be taken down and digested slowly.

Question yourself, and feel it for yourself, before coming to a conclusion.
There is no right or wrong answer to this, but you would need a receptive and open heart.

Ignoring stereotypical thinking, and ignoring how would others view you.


Take a game of blackjack for example
You are holding an ace, and the dealer gives you a king,
You get black jack.
The deal deals you a queen,
You get black jack.

Whats most important is to be true to yourself, and only with that you will be released from your confusion.
Opening your minds to the extreme possibilies and the answers to your doubts would usually be found there.

All the best in your journey, you have my support
