I have posted about this problem in the past but I just need some help again. I thought I was Bi, then I didn't, then I did again and I can assume that it was hormones that made me feel this way. But I realized something, whenever I would feel attracted to other men or think I was Bi, it would be at home but whenever I got to school or out in society, those feelings went away, what I am thinking is that I am suppressing these feelings for fear of what society will think of me. It's almost as if I try to subconsciously try to ignore them. I have almost came out to my Mom multiple times but then I thought, "How will this change my life?" or "What will my friends think when I tell them?" or "What if these feelings aren't true and this is a big mistake?" I tend to over think things and change my mind often. I do have some physical attraction to men and a strong emotional attraction. I just don't know anymore, is it because of my hormones or is it because I fear being judged? I really hope you guys understand this. Thank you! :)

Well, as being Bi myself, I totally see where you are coming from. I think at the moment, you should relax for a bit and not not worry about labelling yourself. When the time is right you'll know if you are Bi, although the fact that you feel a strong emotional connection to guys kind of hints towards that your Bi because a lot of straight kids grwoing up usually just get the physical attraction but again, this could go away, it could not.
Don't come out to anyone as anything until you are absoluytely sure you are, and that you actually want to come out.
Honestly, I know you were probably hoping for a definitive answer but no one but yourself can answer that and it just takes time. In the meantime however, just carry on exploring your feelings. Check out girls, check out guys. Don't ever be afraid to be yourself to yourself in society. No one knows what your thinking, so it's fine. It's not like your walking around with a Neon sign above you XD
Seriously, you just need to give yourself time. It's annoying but hey, that's growing up.
