    Your biggest problem at the moment could be the fact you want to label yourself.

    Whereas sadly we are still in the days where labels are often needed for the more simple minded.

    Just like who you like.
    Be attracted to the people who attract you.
    Love who you love.

    Don't feel the need for a label, because if you do, everyone else will want to label you too.

    So if you just watch people walking down the street, who catches your eye more men or women?

    Try going a few days living in the mindset that you're lesbian, than try a few in the mindset that you're bi. Compare how you feel after those days with how you feel when you think you're straight. Its not really foolproof always but sometimes you will feel more comfortable in one of those mindsets and that's then a good place to start. That's what I've done and I felt happiest when in the mindset of being gay, so I'm using that as a starting point. As for labels, if you can don't worry about it but I know that that is WAY easier said than done. Just try not to beat yourself up over it. That's what I did for a while and it doesn't help, it just hurts.

    My first reaction was scared , I don't want people finding out intill I'm.ready and sorted it out. The idea of my family finding out freaks me out, trying to hide ur feelings from them is not always easy. I have told 3 close / good friends about my confusion, one of my best friends a girl and a couple of other guys that a re good friends .they have , been trying to help .

    How old are you? I think you need to experience more in order to find out who you are. Stop searching and start feeling free about your tendency. Go out and love people without this breathtaking pressure. When the time comes you'll realize exactly who you're interested to and until that time it's ok if you don't feel link you want to come out to sb.

    The thing with an LGBT support group is that often you can go there without anyone finding out, like you dont have to tell anyone and no-one will out you. How old are you? Are you at school or Uni?

    In the same shoes, and it's so boring/confusing/addsmoreissuestolife, but Michael's advice is pretty as sane as I could say, too. :slight_smile:

    Well chatting to lots of different people here on EC is a great start, feel free to make as many threads as you like, but not just that post on peoples walls or whatever, everyone has a unique story and you can learn things from all of them, each one will have similarities and differences. Talking to people online doesnt always match up with chatting to people in real life but its a good start.

    When I first came to EC, I was confused and scared and everyone here helped me through so much so dont panic im sure we can help you too.
