    Hi everyone, I found this sight while looking up some info on how to know if your a lesbian or not. I feel so silly being confused about my sexuality at my age but I need to know what's up with me.

    I don't have any gay/lesbian/bi friends and I thought this would be a good start on meeting some friends, getting advice and finding out more about myself.

    Hope this site helps.
    :help:

    Welcome to EC. :smilewave

    You don't need to feel silly questioning your sexuality at your age. I am 40 and came to terms with myself within the past year. There are a few of us that are older and have come out recently. This site is a great resource in your journey in finding out who you are and the people here are real friendly.

    Hi and welcome to EC! :slight_smile:

    No worries. Trying to figure out ones sexual identity can happen at any time. Sexual identities are fluid and they can change over time. Try to explore the feelings that you do have. Follow what ever feels right for you. I am glad that you have decided to join EC. EC is a great place to start figuring things out. The most important thing though is that you take your time.

    EC has a number of great resources under the Resource section. There are also a number of 'sticky threads' with information in the Support and Advice section. Feel free to ask/post questions, or anything else you think you want to talk about. Talking about your feelings and worries is always good!

    Welcome aboard! :slight_smile:

    hello fellow new york city person, well you more then me, but don't feel silly. There are tons of homosexual/bi/straight people who question their sexualities at your age, it's extremely normal
