Hi there I started questioning my sexuality over a year ago, and quite quickly concluded that I am bi. Then a couple of months ago, I reassessed my outlook on life (I do that a lot) and became very sure that I am a lesbian, but now I realise that I was wrong about that. I was just feeling strongly attracted towards women at the time and ignoring the fact that I can still be attracted to men. I would identify as bi... but I think that label is a bit restrictive for me, so maybe pansexual is the right thing to identify as. I'm just fed up with my attractions changing in intensity. I mean, I thought I was a lesbian when actually I was just more attacted to women at the time. I thought I was straight for a while too. Do any other bi/pan people experience the same crisis as me? :rolle:
I'm having a similar issue. I've been contemplating for a while on how to come out to everyone. I think I've settled on posting it on Facebook, but I haven't been able to, because I'm afraid I might be wrong about my sexuality. I've been attracted to guys and girls, but I've felt differently about them at different times. Unfortunately, I can't exactly come out to everyone as "wibbly wobbly sexy wexy," as much as I'd like to. ---------- Post added 22nd Jun 2014 at 03:03 PM ---------- I think I have it figured out now, but I can't be completely sure. Maybe I'm just being paranoid, though
Rather than pigeonholing yourself to a sexual orientation, you could go with "questioning". Doing so allows you to be open-minded. Once you figure out where your attractions lie via dating and relationships, label yourself as you see fit.
