    Hey, I'm new here! Well, I don't really know how to start but I really need to talk about this. The thing is that I've been confused about my sexuality for years. I thought I liked girls until I was 12 or 13 but then I started liking boys. Actually, I liked boys more. So I thought that I was gay (because I had never been sure about my feelings for girls + I didn't really know what being gay was) and I didn't care at first (I didn't plan to tell anyone but I was ok with me liking boys) but then I started thinking that my family and friends weren't going to support me and I hid my feelings and sexuality because of that fear. So, for years I tried to live pretending that I didn't like boys and that I didn't feel anything (even though deep inside I knew that I still liked them) also I distanced myself from my family and friends, I didn't go out too much with them, stopped talking as much as I did...I just focused on my grades because studying was a good excuse at that time + my mum was diagnosed with bipolar disorder and she has been in hospital with depression almost every year since I can remember.
    Btw, I've never been with a girl, no sex, no kissing (maybe my confused sexuality had something to do with me avoiding this sort things and running away when a girl approached)...now I'm not really into them because I'm more into guys.
    I'm 19 and I'm sure about the fact that I'm attracted to guys (emotionally and physically) and I accept it. However, I'm not quite sure about what I feel for girls. For example, I can tell if a girl is hot or not, if I kinda like her or if I had the chance if I would have something with her but I barely get a boner looking at them, the sexual attraction is low(unlike it happens with some guys)Before I realised all of this, I didn't have a crush on too many girls, I think that I just "liked" the ones who nobody liked (maybe I just felt sorry for them?)But I don't reject being with a girl someday.
    Another thing that confuses me is that I've always
    watched and prefered straight porn (although most of the time I have my eyes on the guy ) I watch gay porn from time to time, but I prefer a guy on his own rather than 2 men having sex. Maybe this is the result of those years trying to hide that I like guys and pretending to 'be' straight, idk. What do you think? Btw, I started watching porn for the girls but thanks to this I realised that I liked guys better.
    Lately I couldn't stop thinking about all of this and that's why I came out to my best friend a couple of weeks ago because I knew that she would support me and accept it. I knew that she may supposed that I wasn't straight because she never asked me about girls nor I didn't talk about this kind of things. She was accepting and nothing has changed between us but I feel like everything is like it used to be because we don't talk too much about it (it isn't a big deal for her but I wish we talked more about it because I need someone to talk)
    I want to come out to my parents and friends next year (my next year's resolution) I think that they will be ok, not sure about my grandparents and a couple of friends though. But since I'm not a 100% sure about my sexuality I don't know what to come out as. If I'm not even sure about who I am, how am I supossed to explain them this? I don't want to hide anymore but this is stopping me. Any advice on how to come out to them? How to figure things out? I know that time is the key to find myself but if it takes ages?
    I think that was all, thanks in advance, sorry if the post was too long and sorry for my english, obviously it's not my mother tongue. <3
    It's weird opening myself to you here but I feel so good now

    Té contestaré en español porque va a ser más fácil ^^ Vaya, parece que tienes varios problemas... Sobre tu orientación, muchos aquí no tenemos claro lo que somos. Si ves que no te funciona, no te intentes encerrar en una etiqueta, porque muchas veces la realidad es demasiado compleja. Siento no poder ayudarte mucho porque yo también estoy muy confundida. Pero tómate tu tiempo, al fin y al cabo esto es algo que solo tú puedes descubrir. Los demás te podemos aconsejar, dar pistas... incluso presionarte para que "seas" gay. Sé que suena como muy tópico, pero creo que lo mejor será que experimentes con una chica que consideres atractiva. Si no te ocurre nada, pues ya habrás avanzado un poco.
    Para salir del armario no tienes que estar del todo seguro de lo que eres. Prueba a decir que no eres hetero, y así ya lo sabrán para cuando tú sepas lo que eres. Seguramente incluso te intentarán ayudar.
    ¡Ánimo y buena suerte!

    ¡Muchísimas gracias por contestar! La verdad es que ya había pensado en intentarlo con alguna chica, pero cuando llega el momento me bloqueo, me da miedo y un poco de ansiedad (siempre me pasa cuando tengo experiencias nuevas). Quizás en el fondo pienso que no es lo correcto para mí y que simplemente soy gay, que sería lo más "fácil" para mí, pero no estoy seguro de nada. Además, me gusta un chico de mi universidad y creo que le puedo gustar, pero no estoy seguro al 100% de que le gusten los chicos...Y para tener algo con él tendría que contar a todos que no soy hetero y como que no me veo preparado xD(aunque he ido dejando pistas) y para mejorar mi situación: creo que una amiga suya intentó algo conmigo hace unas noches -.-
    Y de nuevo, muchas gracias por contestar porque no tenía a nadie con el que hablarlo y tu mensaje me ha venido genial.
    ¡Espero que te vaya bien y que salgas de dudas pronto!
