In your personal opinion, if one is romantically, emotionally, and physically attracted to the same sex, is it better to come out when you're ready as gay or lesbian and maybe face problems with potentially "switching labels" to bi or pan or something else if you end up falling for someone of the opposite sex, or is it better not to define your sexuality immediately and wait a while until you've had time to potentially experience anything?
I feel like people should say whatever makes them most comfortable. You can also always add questioning for some clarity. Plus, even if you feel totally sure you might discover you were off. I thought I was bisexual for a while so that's what I told people. Turned out I'm gay-but-anything-can-happen. Except I just go with gay.
I guess it depends on the people you want to come out to. If they're homophobic, it's probably better to be sure before saying anything. When I first came out, I just said I'm not straight.
I'm having this dillema right now. I kind of feel like I want to come out, but I'm not 100% sure. I'm super scared that I'll have to change my label if I end up falling for a guy. I'm starting to think I'll never be sure. I either have to live with possibly having to change my label one day or stay in the closet. I'm kind of out to some people, but I wish I never came out to them. I wish I could just be 100% gay and 100% sure of it. I'm starting to get tempted to become religious and forget about my stupid sexuality.
Do as you feel. If you want to go out and explore a little more then do just that. If you don't feel that it's for you, then that's just fine too.
I told a few people I was bi until I realized I wasn't bi, so I then told them that other than Jennifer Lawrence I really didn't see myself with a girl
