Hi guys! Basically, i need some help, regarding my sexuality. I can't talk to any of my friends or family about my sexuality because I feel too uncomfortable and plus i don't think they will understand or know what to say... Well, I'm 16 and obviously at that time where you start to attract to males/females. I've had a few relationships with boys in the past and a couple have lasted for nearly a year, but were nothing serious. To be honest, I didn't exactly feel attracted to the boys I dated, I kind of just did it because all of my friends were dating other boys. Anyways, for the past 3 years or so, I've found myself attracted to females more. I know it is nothing to be embarrassed about, because everyone questions their sexuality at one point, but I feel ashamed sometimes, being sexually attracted to females, I'm not sure why. I was in love with one of my friends who is a girl for nearly two years. At one point I thought she might of been a lesbian, from the way she was with me and other girls, but I daren't ask her if she's gay hahahaha. I am still kind of in love with her now, but she treats me like dirt, and I'm trying to forget about her. I nearly told her about how I feel, but then i got scared and chickened out at the last minute. I am defiantly more attracted to women than men. I still find some men attractive, don't get me wrong, but i can imagine myself having a relationship with a woman more than a man... I just need some advice or something, because all of these feelings and thoughts are driving me CRAZY! :bigcry: I'm not sure whether I'm a lesbian, or bi, or straight for that matter, please can someone just HELP! Much appreciated, love and hugs! =D
HoneyMonster...11 years ago I was where you are now. And the thing to remember is that one day you will probably be saying this to someone else. Don't try and stuff yourself in one box. You are too smart, complicated, funny, wonderful, intelligent and a hundred other things, to fit neatly in a box labelled 'HoneyMonster'. Its frustrating as hell, I know, to question our sexuality. But that's not the only thing we question. We question our motives, feelings, judgements, knowledge. Everything that is anything we humans question. And that can be a pain in the ass sometimes, and sometimes can be wonderful. Leave your feelings be. Think about them if you have to, but don't obsess. When I was a 16 year old, I hated when people said things take time to sort themselves out. Unfortunately now, I am going to give you the same advice. You have your whole world ahead of you, shrinking yourself to fit in a neat little container is only going to do more harm that help. I'm sorry I ranted for so long. This was meant to be a small reply. Sorry Oh, and as for this girl, remember, and I learnt this the hard way, anyone who treats you like dirt, is not worth your time, energy and certainly not worth your heart.
Yes,I agree with @ pinkandfreetobeme . The advice was brief and concise. I find it helpful to others with the same case as HoneyMonster.
Yep all your questions take time to sort out. Just try to relax and take life as it comes to you. Everything will be revealed with the passage of time. Good luck and just concentrate on making a fun life for yourself.
