Hi! I'm a female teenager and thinking that I may be bisexual. It wasn't until recently that I really considered my sexuality. I never felt different but recently I've been developing crushes on not only guys but girls. I think that I feel emotionally and physically attracted to both girls and guys. Although I've never been in a real relationship so I'm not sure. I don't want to put any labels on myself until I'm sure but I also feel that I'm hiding a part of myself and I would like to share my girl crushes to my friends along with my guy ones! I just don't want to say anything until I'm sure, but I am pretty sure because I can stop these feelings! I'm sorry this was so long but I don't know where else to turn and I would appreciate some good advice more than you can imagine! Thanks!!
I have accepted the fact that I'm bisexual, but still haven't come out. I can't imagine coming out before you even knew for sure. Is it worth the emotional stress of coming out before you know who you are yourself?
Like Blue skies is saying, you shouldn't be in a rush to come out of the closet. Nobody is standing at the door yanking on the knob or pounding on the door. Take this time to get to know yourself a little more. Think constantly about your feelings for men and women, and pay attention to what you want out of relationships with men and relationships with women. Knowing and accepting yourself is by far the first step to coming out to other people. If you can't explain your feelings concretely, people may think you're still just questioning your sexuality.
Yeah, I agree with the above two, it'd probably be best to be sure of it yourself before telling others. BUT I do think you could go to one or two close friends and tell them honestly about how your questioning your sexuality - as long as they're supportive, they could very well help you figure yourself out too.
Thanks this is all helpful.. I definitely think I'm going to wait until I'm sure to fully come out but I do like the idea of telling a close friend that I am questioning... I think it would be helpful to have someone there to help me figure it out.
