    Hi everyone,
    I'm new to the site and have been questioning my sexuality for the past few months. I thought my whole life that I had like guys, until one day i thought i had gotten feelings for another girl. Now i am confused, and unsure about with im straight, gay, or bi. Any opinions?
    Thanks :slight_smile:

    Hey, and welcome to EC. :slight_smile: Not sure how good my advice will be, but maybe just try to be open-minded about your sexuality? Maybe just feel it out, take your time figuring it out? Figuring it out is not an overnight thing, but it's something all of us had to do or are still doing. Best of luck. :icon_wink

    Welcome to EC! You've come to a great place for support in figuring things out. I would say just take your time. Don't feel like you have to have all the answers all at once. Sexuality is fluid. It is so hard for us to understand and accept that because society teaches us that we have to fit into a box. Well, most of us don't fit comfortably inside that box. You will figure out how best to identify yourself or if you even need to identify at all. The good news is that's all up to you, and this will be a supportive environment no matter what you discover about yourself.

    Hi there! Welcome to the community. You have come to the right place to explore your feelings/attractions and to ask questions. Feel free to read through the forums as well, some of it might give you some clues as well.

    Exploring one's sexual orientation, and gaining an understanding as to what it all means can take a while. The best suggestion I can give you is to follow your instincts. If you start having feelings for someone, maybe ask yourself what is different about the feelings that you are experiencing, does the person fulfill or provide you with something that you are looking for. What kind of an attraction is it? Do you find yourself thinking about the person a lot, do you want to be near them as much as possible? etc... With time, some of the answers will become clearer. :slight_smile:
