    Recently I've been coming to terms with the fact that I am gay. I still don't truly believe it, but it's probably, most likely the case. For a couple years I have called myself bisexual - even then I questioned the validity of such a sexuality. But really, I was only questioning myself. I can't deny that I'm attracted to other women. I have thought my embarrassment and geniality around men who flirted with me was attraction. I now think it could have been an insecurity with intimacy and asexual stimulation, because these feelings haven't progressed or been as intense as with women.

    Sometimes, I feel that I am wrapped up in so many layers of denial it gets hard to find the truth. But yes, I do think I'm gay, and I'm not sure what to do with this information. That's why I'm here. Sorry this is so short, it's a bit late where I am.

    Welcome! And it's completely normal to still question your sexuality, I do it all the time. But hey, enjoy your time and I'll see you around
