    Whever people suggest I like men or I'm bi I get mad. I also feel awkward when people think I'm straight.

    It depends on whether you are actually attracted to men, romantically or sexually. Even if you are attracted to men, you might not want to be associated with straight culture and you might be comfortable with the queer community and be proud to be part of it.

    No one can tell you if you might be gay based on this. It depends on why you get mad.
    For instance, you might get mad because you truly are bisexual but don't want to accept it or maybe you unconsciously realize that you're gay and don't want to be with men at all so when people suggest that you could that upsets you because it feels wrong.

    But maybe you're not actually feeling mad deep down? As I said it could just be a feeling telling you that it's wrong.
    I used to think that I wanted to be gay (which didn't make any sense at all to me) but then I realized that I was misreading my feelings and that I didn't actually want it (because at the same time I didn't want to acknowledge that I'm a lesbian) but it just felt more "right" for me to be gay, because I am.

    Like ellyy said, it all depends on why you get mad. Although, this is something I had also. I was out as bi for a few months and most people didn't even acknowledge my attraction to women, only my attraction to men. It felt wrong and I too got upset. That was definitely one of the things that made me reconsider my label; now i'm out as a lesbian. I think this could definitely be a sign.

    That not really a lot of info to go off. You could just be mad because you're single, but it all depends on the fact of do you find the same sex emotionally, sexually and physically attractive?
