Is there any truth to the "teen hormones" excuse people use?

Oh god, I understand so well. You responded on my other post in regards to this. But yeah, I understand. I had a point where I really liked girls, and it sort of faded away and I was just left with nothing. I was so scared that I had been in a phase or that it was just my hormones and I still am. But bisexuals are subject to a lot of moods where they like different genders at a time. Perhaps you're just going through one of these? If you felt true feelings, I don't believe that you're feelings were purely hormonal. You might not know why you're attracted exclusively to guys right now, and mayb you won't for a while, but I think you just need to go with the flow. Stressing about it probably won't help you. If you just take your feelings in stride and like what you like right now without worrying, it'll be therapeutic. Maybe you'll change in the future or maybe you won't, but I'm pretty confident that your feelings for girls before were legitamate and not just some chemicals in you. I hope it works out for you and good luck

 

There are some people that change their orientation. Maybe it happened to you? Not sure if the hormone thing could make you like girls while actually being straight or make you become gay during your teen years and then turning straight again.

 

You don't sound straight. You sound like your some where on the demi or grey ace spectrum.

 

it sounds like there's some questioning going on, and that's ok. In fact, I would say that it is good and healthy. no need to get to locked in to any one label. If you want to use a label, use the one that seems to fit best, or least badly. If that is bisexual today because you know that you are somewhere in between things, that's fine. If tomorrow, you feel a bit different, that's fine. Nobody has a right to say "hey, that's not what you told me you were the last time I saw you." As we get older, some people become more certain, but it can be a lifetime process for others. And to some extent, our entire lives are a process of self discovery. Just enjoy it! (&&&)

 

There are a few things that can influence mood, and sex drive...

stress, meds, lack of exercise...
so you might try some stress relaxation, like meditation, or look for some stress relief exercises...
and you might do some regular exercises you like, for example swimming... biking... walking...

to some extent the people you are around with... maybe spending a few minutes a day without much noise helps, just a bit reflecting on what you like...

some people say they fall in love with a person not a gender.

some people say they need an emotional connection first.

And some people say they can not relate as much to one gender.
But this is generally speaking, there might be exceptions.

You could think about what you liked in girls then... and look for places where you can have it again to some extent.. playfulness ? Maybe joining a sports ?

And, well, you could get to know people slowly, see what you feel, and take it from there...
