Think I'm gay

[Cobaltium27]

For the past month or so I've been really confused about my sexuality. Before then I never really took the time to question it because I was always undoubtedly straight, though I never acted on the thought. I haven't had a girlfriend and I haven't ever really wanted one. But now that I'm actually thinking about what I want, I can't help but picture myself with a guy if he was just right. Now I really don't care if someone is gay or bi or whatever. I've always just thought it's them, not me. They can do whatever makes them happy but putting myself in that space is kinda making me panic a little bit and I don't even really know why. I shouldn't be bothered by this so much but I am and I have no idea what to do about it and what to do if I'm right...

Only you can say what you are. And if your happy just go with it.

You're good! I've been there too! It only really recently accepted to myself. I guess it's possible someone will these feelings is just confused and ends up straight or whatever. But we're out here for you. Just gotta come find us. Love you, bud! :)

I went through a very similar situation to yourself around 2 years ago.
I had always been brought up by my parents to accept other people's religions and sexuality, etc, however, I struggled with the idea of seeing myself as anything other than straight, as the stigma around sexuality at young ages made me panic when I put myself in a scenario of questioning. I had always gone through life being somewhat "attracted" to boys, but I only ever saw it as myself looking up to others, and never even considered being 'gay' (as that was used as an insult!).
After exploring what I liked at the start of puberty, I finally realised that this attraction I had to boys wasn't any different from the way I felt about girls, and that I was forcing this fear upon myself. Bottling up my feelings, and whatnot. It was not healthy. Finally coming to terms with being bisexual kinda freaked me out, in all honesty. But once I read more about it, exposed myself to so many happy stories about gay couples and the huge amount of support for gay and bisexual people, I felt a lot calmer and safer with myself. I will admit that it is a difficult experience at first, but give it time, and keep open minded, and most importantly: be honest to yourself.
I hope all goes well.

well the good news is you do not have to be in a rush to think about. you can take all the time you need to consider and even then it is not like you cant ever change your mind on the issue
