Is there a way to know whether you're truly happy being gay

You're happy with you sexuality but you're not sure if you were straight if things would be easier, maybe?

 

I know I wasn't happy with it for a while, a long while, and it made me unhappy in life. Now that I've really accepted myself I am actually a lot happier.

 

Perhaps there's no need to be happy or unhappy with being gay, but just be happy with your life. If you're not happy, is it because you're gay? If so, it's because of discrimination from others? or there's something you would love in life and being gay makes it impossible?

 

^^^^^^ this

 

Being gay makes it difficult because you don't know a lot of gay people to find a requited love?

 

Don't think what you say is stupid in any way, it's just what you feel and that's ok. I wonder if you think those feelings would disappear if you find a partner who loves you and you love him?

 

Well I do feel the same way sort of Gazza, it would be easier to live if I were strait. It would be easier to date, it would be easier to live if you were just like everyone else. But it would not be easier to find love. Love is rare, people convince themselves they are in love all the time without knowing what it really is.

I hope that finding a relationship does ease the feeling of hopelessness personally, and hope is just about all that's left. Truthfully I've all but given up on that.

I hope you can find someone though that way you can be happy.

 

I think I'm fairly happy being gay. Us lesbians are pretty awesome. XD But I do feel that straight people can find relationships more easily.

 

After all you've written here I think what happens to you is mainly that you feel needy for love. I hope you find it soon and be happy, i believe it will be so. Never lose hope, sometimes we don't see the light because we've forgotten how it looks like, but time can be the answer.

 

Neither do I but I still joined an online dating site in hopes. I guess I'm pretty cute despite my chunkiness, cause people have been messaging me. It's sort of getting my hopes up.

 

Yeah, so far it hasn't worked for me either, but you know what they say, if at first you don't succeed.

 

Well don't you think you should get back on that horse? The only other way you are going to meet a guy who is for sure gay is to start hanging out at gay bars/clubs.
