Recently I've been feeling attractions towards guys and have started to have crushes on some of them in my school. It was awhile ago that I finally realized that I hadn't had a crush on a girl in a long time and that I think I'm gay. But then my friends told me that there are rumors that I get around a lot, with girls, and they are jealous of me because of these rumors. I've told them numerous times that I've never been with a girl or anyone, but they still don't believe me. Soon after my friends told me about these rumors I'll notice a girl and think, "Oh she looks attractive." I think I'm trying to prove to my friends that I do like girls, but I just came out to myself, so these thoughts have come at a weird time for me. Is it because I feel pressured from my friends or because I'm actually bi not gay?
Welcome to EC! No real advice, but I've found that reading what others post can help me realize my own answers. Try not to get too hung up on labels.
Thanks! Ok. I just wasn't sure because I guess I just wanted to say if I was bi, or gay when I came out.
Maybe just say you know you aren't straight but you aren't ready to put a label on yourself yet. Take time to (safely) experiment with what you want and need in a partner.
