    I am 99% sure I'm gay. I find guys attractive and have had crushes on ones in my class. However I am scared that if I come out I will then realise I'm not gay. This probably sounds really stupid but I just wanted some advice :slight_smile:

    First thing RELAX. It doesn't sound stupid, if you're not 100% sure that's OK, it just means you are normal.
    The standard advice about coming out is only do it when you are ready. At a time, place and to someone you feel comfortable with. Never feel as if you have to come out, it's some thing you do because you want to.
    Don't put pressure on yourself to figure your self out completely, the answer to that question will present itself to you.
    Only come out when you feel it's right for you.

    I probably won't be able to best that response, but I'm pretty much dealing with the same issue. NEVER feel pressured to figure out your sexuality right away, be patient. All that will do is cause you unneeded anxiety. If you feel ready and do want to come out, you can just come out as queer, or "not straight." This will give you space so that you aren't stuck with just one label should that change later. Sexuality IS fluid, but if anything, it does sound like youre gay :icon_bigg

    Woah... That felt really weird ( in a good way) being told i might be gay by someone that isnt myself. Thanks for the advice as well :slight_smile:
