I am 14, and a few months ago when I was 13 I started to question my sexuality. I'm fairly sure I'm bisexual. Of course I'm not going to immediately slap a label on myself, but I started questioning it at 13.
Well I thought I was straight all my life (despite never having full blown crushes on everyone but everyone liked boys and I didn't know it was possible to like girls) but then I started to question myself around 12 or 13 and when I turned 14, I thought I was bi but I didn't really think about it that much but in the last 2 months, I have been questioning myself a lot and it's on my mind 24/7. I'm pretty sure I'm bi (but now I'm thinking possibly homoromantic but I don't think I'm going to know fully until I actually experience a relationship with a girl) and I'm soon going to come out to everyone as bi. If I do one day realise I am homoromantic, Ill probably just call myself a lesbian but you never know how your sexuality will change in the future!
My parents sat me down and broke it to me when I was about 8...no, wait, that was something else. At 16 I had a series of epiphanies, one of which was "ok, apparently I find both women and men attractive, and could fall in love with or enjoy sex with either, really...so whichever shows up in my life first as a significant other wins. I guess that makes me bisexual."
Started questioning at 15, labelled myself as "bi" at 16 but wasn't confident with the label, and accepted sexuality and came out to a few people just recently (still 16).
I originally came out as bisexual at age 17 but for years identified as gay I was not so sure how legitimate my feelings for women really were. It kind of felt like pressure from other gay men who told me I was probably just gay and not bisexual. However just in the past couple months I have found myself sexually aroused by women and having sexual fantasies of having sex with a woman and getting off to it. It was actually hard to admit to myself I am bisexual and even I have a hard time actually believing it. It just so happens I tend to be a little bit more of a gay leaning bisexual. Somewhere between a Kinsey 3 and 4.
I posted this elsewhere a while ago, but I think it answers this question well, so I'm reposting it here. ----- I'm a hetero leaning bisexual, approximately Kinsey 2-2.5. I tend to partner with women, but have had a couple big loves that were men. And i really like trans men, too. I didn't always know that I liked men, but I always felt a little different from other boys, and could see myself in our gay neighbors. But I was also interested in girls from an early age (maybe age 7 or 8). I didn't have my first significant crush/physical experience with a guy until I was in 9th grade, and it felt amazing. And very confusing. I had already been fantasizing about guys and girls for a while at that point. But I was also deeply ashamed and closeted about it. I struggled with my identity for many years, going back and forth between thinking I was straight, other times thinking I was bi or even gay. And I kept being attracted to queer ladies that later came out as trans men. Lol I wasn't really able to fully accept and come out to myself until my late 20s, after having a brief but very profound connection with a beautiful gay man who was a friend. After he moved away and I broke up with my next girlfriend, I tried to date only men for a little while, but that didn't quite feel right either, and I kept falling into bed with women. Lol. So I eventually settled into this bisexual identity. The funny thing is that some of my closest friends in my twenties later told me that they always knew I was queer; apparently it was easier for them to see and accept me than for me to accept myself. I was lucky to have queer friendly friends. I still struggle sometimes, and occasionally worry that I'm gay or straight and in denial, but the older I get, the more comfortable I am with my attractions to men and women. I hope this helps you in your journey.
I subconsciously thought I was a lesbian for a long time, despite trying my best to crush on guys and get into a relationship with one so that I could show other people that I was "normal". Then during high school I found myself physically attracted to them as well. I was still creeped out by the idea of, suppose, marrying a man and being condemned to spend the rest of my life with one. But considering the weight of societal expectations, I was sort of relieved. Nowadays I still struggle with accepting that "I go both ways". It would be so much easier if I was straight or a lesbian. I don't see another way out, though. I have only come out to 02 people in real life, though I've never talked about how I feel on the subject with anyone.
I originally came out as a bisexual but somewhat more gay leaning to a therapist at 17. I told him it was around 65/35 on men/women. It seems like now it is roughly 60/40 or maybe even 55/45. My Kinsey rating is usually between 3.3 and 3.7.
As a child I had rampant crushes on boys throughout the years... and a few times, I noticed girls catching my eye. But since I was raised by moderately homophobic parents, and I was a naturally anxious child, I decided that this (intermittently) must mean that I was a lesbian and that's horrible and on and on. I agree with the previous poster, Weregild, that it would be a bit easier to be just one or the other... and that was something I struggled heavy with for about 5 years now. I recently admitted after being in an FWB relationship with another girl for... roughly 4-5 years, that I am bisexual. I'm now 24. I'm not out to many people, but I'm planning on moving out of my mother's place soon, and afterward I fully intend on busting out of the closet. #yoloswag
I did think about my sexuality when I was 11, but then I just dismissed it and said I was too young to know. When I was 13 I had this HUGE crush on this girl that didn't go away and I just started to question myself and realized that it wasn't my first crush on a girl.All my life I have liked guys as well. I finally came to terms with it when I was 14 and came out as bi to most of my friends.
I was doubting myself around...10? Or younger? I'm in an all-girls school, so surrounded by females 24/7 (my entire family is female too) it kinda...interested me. Girls, I mean. At first it was small crushes, and the confessions was like...for fun? But I was attracted to them. Not sexually, but more of a...I dunno, romantically? Not kissing and all that-holding hands and stuff. I think it was due to my friends shoving yaoi (anime gay) in my face around 9-10. But I was also in love with a guy, and I started questioning myself at that point, until I realized recently that yes, I'm bi, and though I still question myself at times, I'll still say I'm bi.
