Hi! I'm kind of lost. - Empty Closets - A safe online community for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered people coming out

Annabanana227 · 21st Nov 2011, 08:40 PM

I'm 21 years old, female. I am in my senior year of college and I am just beginning to come to terms with the fact that I think I might be bisexual. I'm definitely still into guys. But I think I might be into girls too. And I have lots of gay/lesbian friends, I just never really thought I was anything but straight.. I go to a REALLY open-minded school that is very accepting of all types of "alternative lifestyles." We have a really big lgbt community on campus, so you'd think I would be willing to confide in someone there, but I can't really think of someone I would feel comfortable talking to about this. So I guess I'll just start here and see what happens. I've never been with a girl.. I don't really know how to describe it, and even just re-reading this that I'm writing right now is really weird for me. This is kind of a new thing happening to me (at least being aware of it is new) I just would like to talk to people about their own experiences coming to terms with their sexuality and what it was like to become aware of your sexuality.. I hope I'm making sense..
