    Thoughts can't change you if you weren't designed like that to begin with. "Sexuality is fluid" could imply that until getting to the real sexuality a person may go through different stages - that being caused by various factors, like internalized homophobia or forcing oneself to be something they're not.

    I see that you've been weighing on this for quite a while so all I can suggest is that you take things one step at a time. You can wait before coming out and only discuss these matters with people that will continue supporting you no matter what and are neutral to everything (don't have an opinion on what you SHOULD be). If you stop worrying you'll probably get your mind back on the track and figure things out.

    Best of luck!

    Honestly, the people who say that being gay is "phase" are usually not that informed about sexuality. It's my belief that sexuality is in-built and can't simply be "changed" after a period of time.

    It's true that sometimes people come to understand their sexuality better as time goes on, and it can appear to an outsider as if they've 'changed their mind' - but this isn't really the case. For example, someone who thinks they're only attracted one gender may discover that on the rare occasion, they may like another gender too. This is simply because they discovered more about themselves - not because they were in a 'phase' previously.

    There's no need for you to question whether your feelings are 'real' or not. :slight_smile: They are real. The best way to find out more about your sexuality is to follow heart towards whoever makes you happy.

    Ps. I'm going to move this over to the Sexual and Romantic Orientation sub-forum, because I think you'll get some better views and advice there. :slight_smile:
