Dammit, it's happening again! XD I'm currently having a bit of an issue that I'd quite like some support on. You see, I finally accepted my homosexuality after around three years of denial a few months ago. However, I've made a small discovery that's really panicking me. You see, all the time I was denying myself, I actually quite liked the idea of being gay (i.e. I'd partly come to terms with it already). This meant that coming out was a really useful and liberating experience for me. However, it was recently brought to my attention that some people go through a phase of homosexuality in teen-hood, while for others it is their true sexuality. Now, I have an anxiety disorder, meaning that I often worry far too much about tiny, unlikely things. I don't have any attraction to women - I can see why they're attractive, but I don't find them attractive. I am perfectly comfortable with being gay, romantically and sexually. In fact, I'm already out to my family and all my friends. I actively look forward to leading my life as a gay guy. However, I'm starting to panic about my sexuality 'possibly being a phase' - to be frank, I'm happy being gay and don't want to be straight. I appreciate that I've rambled quite a bit in this post, but that's exactly how I feel - confused and muddled about something I can't control or predict. Thanks for taking the time to read this!

Haha same here. Everybody knows I'm a lesbian, but now I'm getting all stressed out about maybe one day waking up and realising I'm straight and then having to come out again. It sounds stupid, I know. I'm the same age as you and have never been in a relationship, so I guess that's why I'm thinking that it could just be a phase. Which it really isn't. This really isn't good advice, it's just me talking about my confusion. It's great that you're out. I'm sure a phase doesn't last three years... and you must be gay for not finiding women attractive Good luck, and remember that loads of teens are struggling with the same kind of issues.
i wouldnt worry, i know some say its a phase but from what you've stated there is no evidence to suggest you being straight. A good question to ask yourself is have you always been a little consciously been attracted to guys? For me it has been hard as i have always pushed everything out as i didn't want to be gay from a young age and started to piece everything together at 14 (and am currently dating a guy). Sorry if im rambling but i wouldn't say your straight, especially if you have been aware of this for many years, i wouldnt really call it a phase. Hope this helped -Dan
