is it possible to change your sexuality ?

[jeremy96]

I think im gay i really don't want to go through telling my family and everyone looking at me like im strange. So if you could help please.

[OptimusPrime]

No, it's not possible.

[Kujiro]

Technically No.
Sexuality is not a matter of choice, if you are , then you are.
You may choose to go into denial or any sort, but its not going to get any better.

There are people whom are homosexual but remain closeted for their entire lives, getting wife and kids; just because it is the norm and would not others to look at them in that light.

But that does not change their actual relationship preference.
Its a fact that you may lie to the entire world, but at the end of the day, it comes down to yourself.

Im not inferring that you should come out to anyone if you decide not to, its ultimately your choice.
There are benefits to coming out, at the same time there are disadvantages, weigh them to you advantage and make the right decision.

Take your time on this one, no one is pacing you from behind.

Good luck

No. You can pretend, but that's a waste of life.

Just as the previous posters have said, no. You can surpress the feelings but they will always be there.

Yes you can. Ignore thoughts of men and limit your perfences to women!

Is it not directly cheating himself?
In all honesty, ignorance is just a suppressant, but it does not change facts.

[Abigballofdust]

You can't. Unfortunately. You can pretend but that's not it. Not correct towards yourself and not correct towards the girl you're pretending to love.
Don't let yourself down. It's not so bad on this side.

You are who you are. You can, however, choose to deny this to yourself.. but it's not worth living a lie your entire life. There's nothing to be ashamed about. <3

It is called supressing your thoughts. Yes, you can supress them, but this is not truthful yourself. It is not giving you as much as pleasure if you released yourself. If I supressed my gay said, I would be unhappy. I have done that actually. But this is not true sexuality change. It is killing your sexuality. And it is a constant fight with yourself. Change is not possible.
If you don't believe me, try to change yourself into something you are not! See, for how long you could supress yourself and how pleasurable it is. And then think if it really was a change!

[Shadowin]

Never not at all nope

this is because we like who we like our brains are hot wired to like who we like so unless they invent some kind of "Treatment" then no no no no no and no did i mention no

[Short Circuit]

You might be able to fool others, but you can never fool yourself. Accept who you are and get on with your life, do not worry about what others think.

As for telling your family, I bet they have a good idea already about your sexuality.

[Weeping]

It's okay to be gay. You can't change your sexuality no matter how much you supress it, etc.
And telling people. If you don't want to tell you don't need to. People will probably find out on their own sooner or later.

"Faking that you're straight" is not fair to anyone. You can't be with who you really want to, and the girl you are with wont have a guy that actually fully loves her. Both of you will probably be happier if you're yourself.

You can't change it exactly, consciously decide. Though, this may be an unpopular opinion, but I think your sexuality can change over time, just not willingly. My own belief is that gender is another trait like hair colour, body shape, etc. that you're attracted to. And definitely those things can change, your preference in a partner. Though I don't think anyone who hasn't experienced this sort of thing first-hand will understand where I'm coming from, but if you don't want to be gay, you could change as you grow up. I wouldn't count on it, but I'd hold off on telling anyone if you don't want to be gay, give it a couple years and it may actually have been temporary?

[SyrupSeal]

Like everyone else has said, it's better just to accept and love who you are. :)

[BiBoy5674]

i would say no it just dependson what you like :)
