    First of all, I'm not homophobic.. but when I come across homosexuals especially lesbians, I feel uncomfortable. In my mind, I would give them a smile but instead I blush and I look down. I can't help it. I wish I could act normal in front of these people. Any advice?

    Well you say it is around gay people in general but especially lesbians, and that you blush. Is it possible that you are gay or bi (or even heteroflexible) and identify with these people and feel guilty about it? Of course I could be totally off and if so - sorry. But I know I used to feel guilty and a little uncomfortable when girls dressed promiscuously and I checked them out before I knew I was gay. Also is it just gay people in general or them showing affection? Again - sorry if this didn't help at all.

    You probably just lack exposure and/or are dealing with significant internal issues...
