    Well I'm gay but I used to go from for sure bi for sure straight or for sure gay after a certain point I just started saying if I found "evidence" towards any attraction to women I'd just say "blah blah blah sounds like a homo in denial" and I kept up with this and still do from time to time. But the reason I did this was so I can at least get comfortable enough to talk to other people it's helped and my anxiety has dropped a great amount. I'm not happy nor comfortable with my sexuality but hey a least least my anxiety has gone from 100 to 65. Well now that I'm improving I'd like some advice to keep the ball rolling. Thanks :slight_smile:

    I'm glad you reduced your anxiety!

    Instead of you just being in denial, it's possible that you could be abrosexual, meaning your sexuality is fluid and can change. For example, sometimes you're straight, other times your gay, and other times you're bisexual.

    I hope I could help!

    Hmmmm. If your feeling pretty firm in your decision, maybe the coming out forum would be a more helpful place for this post.

    I'm glad your anxiety has reduced. :slight_smile: Good luck.

    Well I came out a year ago but the anxiety didn't go down to til about 2 months ago also I don't like thinking about a slight chance of being with a woman because then I get sad and by sad I mean really into the gutters. So if I do catch myself checking out a woman I dismiss it as hetoronormative training

    Oh, honey! That sounds tough. Hug. (*hug*)

    Yup. It's tough to face down heteronormativity. I'm glad your taking care of yourself.
