okay so, i'm a teenage girl and i've always been attracted to boys, but i keep worrying that maybe im bi. sometimes i am physically attracted to girls and sometimes i am with boys, but i've only ever had feelings for a boy. but other days its like im attracted to neither and i dont know what to do with my feelings. but ive only ever had deep feelings for boys. sometimes im certain im straight but other times i just have a lot of anxiety because im very confused about my sexuality. i'm currently in a relationship with a boy who i care about a lot. but days like today im a little confused with all my emotions. i know i care about this boy but im thinking so much about my sexuality that it's really bothering me. however yesterday i was perfectly fine and certain about my feelings. on some level i know im not gay or bi, nor do i want to be. but its still worrying me.
i'd just like some advice on how to stop worrying about it, and be fine again like i was yesterday.

Have you ever been physically or emotionally attracted to girls?

You sound like me with guys, lol. Physically but not emotionally. I consider myself bisexual, but it depends on the person. Only you can truly know your own sexuality.

Unfortunately, it doesn't matter whether people want to be straight, gay, bisexual, whatever. There is no way to really change your sexuality; you can only act differently from it, and that would just be putting yourself through hell, so I don't recommend it.
You're just confused. Many more teens than you think go through this phase, some just aren't as open about it.
You could be bisexual, straight, or maybe just curious. But there's no reason to label yourself until you are really ready. There's no reason to rush anything, and it will only end up being harder if you do. If you can't see yourself in an emotional relationship with a girl, then most likely, you're straight. Your hormones may be just playing tricks on you, and making you think things that aren't really there. That's normal, and as time goes on, things will begin to get clearer. There are amazing guides at the top of this forum, which I think you would find very helpful to read. They contain personal stories on people who have gone through all this as well, and they are there to help.
