    Hi everyone,
    I'm nineteen and from Germany and I finally took enough courage to sign in here and actually post something :slight_smile:
    I question my sexuality for about two years now, and it's an issue that bothers me a lot more than I thought it would... I really don't like the feeling that I kind of don't "know" myself, that I have no idea what my sexual orientation actually is. I just really want to find out what's going on with me. I don't know. It's confusing right now...
    I don't know what to write more here, maybe that's enough for the beginning :slight_smile:

    Wow, thanks for so many friendly replies already :slight_smile:
    It feels good to know that other people go through the same...
    I tried to talk about this stuff with two very close friends, and they are really accepting and supportive, but I don't think they really understand me. Although I'm sure they try. But they don't really know what to say most of the time...

    Heeeeey!! I'm kinda new to all this too... Actually, I'm totally lost. Everything around here seems like unicorns and gliter, which is super awesome!
    I don't even know how to get started, I mean, sooooo many things to explore, I feel like my brain is going to explode from all this amazingness.

    Hi and Welcome to EC,

    Don't let it stress you.. I was questioning my sexuality for about 2 and a half years till I make a definitive decision on who I was.. And as a matter of fact, only last night I questioned myself once again.. I know it's hard when you are unsure of who you are.. But don't let that become you.. Don't let it get to you.. I think you need to just relax and just maybe be open minded and really think on whom you think you are attracted to and whom you wanna spend your life with.. When you look into your future do you see either a man or a woman? For me.. I can see a life with either a man or a woman and I am attracted physically and emotionally to men and women.. It might take some time for you to figure it out. You are 19 and you have plenty of time, so don't worry about how long it might take for you to decide or figure it all out.

    I think being here will be able to help you and even just getting your thoughts out and being able to talk to people who have been there and know how you feel will be good for you, so I hope you stay around and keep posting. It's nice too meet you Hun xx

    Hm... In general, with both, but right now more with a woman. But it changes every now and then, so I don't really know how to interpret that :3

    I used to have two friends that I confided in, but that didn't go too well. They just didn't understand, even though they tried their best. Eventually, I guess they gave up on me. But hopefully that's not what is happening to you.. =o

    Welcome to EC! My condolences and greeting to you from another Newbie!
