My sexual orientation obsession is ruining my life

Hi sporn,

Every teenager in the world is probably thinking about their sexual orientation, one way or another. I'm sure you know this, but your sexual orientation shouldn't be the only thing that you should think about and there is no need to rush into it at all. No one should feel the pressure of wanting to come out within their teenage years, because it's alot to take and it doesn't matter what age you are. If you are young, it is alot to take in when you have other things going on in your own life. I'm not saying to supress your sexual orientation, because it's a part of who you are gay, straight, bi, hetro-flexible, homo-flexible...alien (apparently those are a real sexual orientation, I know, I'm just as confused as you are about those 'flexible' sexual orientations).

If you are still in high school or just starting college, you still have time to deal with this, there is no need to rush into it, if you feel you are not ready to deal with this, that's fine. But at the same time as I said don't supress it, because it's apart of your identity. In terms of the biphobe and man hater, I'm sure your not. Your just going through a rough time like every teenage in the whole wide world, where you feel like you need to rush and be SUPER PERSON!! The best thing to do, I would say join a LGBT Group or a Gay, Straight Alliance, so you can get other bits of advice from people you can speak to, and most importantly getting a network of friends that can support you and understand what you are going through, as I'm sure there are other biphobe, man haters everywhere else. I don't mean that in an offending way, but don't feel like you are alone in this and there are people out there who want to help, I hope this helps?
