Someone help pls
why do you worry
I rlly dunno why I worry, js wanna be sure b4 coming out to my parents
I think that you may be Bi with a preference, but its good to look thru photos of folks and try to figure out if You think they look good, or if they match societies' expectations of attractive.
what i want to say is it doesn't matter
i'm bi but a lot of the times i lean towards men and i feel stronger attraction to men
ohhh right
but like the thing is so what
if i see/meet a woman i find attractive and everything is right i'll ask her out maybe and if it works it works
if i don't meet a woman where it works out in my lifetime and end up with a man or alone then it is what it is
yeah ig
people who strictly identify as heterosexual/homosexual sometimes even make out or date someone "outside of their sexual orientation"
humans are complicated and it happens
because at the end of the day love is finding someone you feel comfortable with
and it really doesn't matter how you identify
if a person, whether that be a man or a woman, makes you happy and you like them then why does it matter
cuz I don’t think I want to end up with a man, but it’s just… I dunno, lemme just talk abt my experience
When I was younger, I loved a girl. When my mom discovered it, she said to me that it was a sim. Then, I stopped liking girls (so I thought). Then, I liked a guy who my best friend went out with. I stopped after I liked another guy who never made fun of me. In 8th grade, I realized liking girls wasn’t a sin, so I came out as pan to my friends, but I wondered if my feelings for boys were real, so I came out as lesbian. I tried coming out to my parents but they said I had to kiss someone to be a lesbian, I was sad. Oh, I also liked a friend and a girl named Julianna who is dating another girl rn (oof). But now there’s this guy named Rafael, my friend who I got shipped with for 4 YEARS IN A SEQUENCE COUNTING WITH THIS ONE. I never liked him but he’s just so nice to me that I’m doubting if it’s just a friend or more, and my friends think I’m lesbian
i identified as gay for a while
never felt things for women
but once a girl started flirting with me and i was like hey i'm ok with this
didn't end up leading to anything bc she was in a relationship which was shitty but it is what it is
yeah no being shipped sucks
it really sucks
but is it common to like… the feelings vanish for a while?
bc I look at girls and I just don’t feel what I used to feel, like, feelings were so intense, could it be emotional exaustion?
What if I was just confused?
every time I liked guys was because of an event like that
intense emotions are not love btw
imagine you have a life partner and every time you see them your heart jumps out of its body basically
and this person you're gonna live with for the rest of your life and live together with at some point presumably
i mean infatuation is normal strong feelings are normal
but they are not what love is
think about it how do you want to feel around the person you will live with for the rest of your life
i defintely don't think i crush on people as intense after i got into a shitty situationship, caught feelings really hard, and now i've processed it
i haven't liked anyone since but i think if i were to id probably keep them at a distance
Ig it is even harder if your whole family is christian and your dad is a bit shitty
my parents aren't religious but they grew up in the 70's in china and my mom grew up in a slum so
deep down as i've gotten older i've begun to understand that my mother only believes that
- the world is cruel to queer people
- she doesn't want the world to be cruel to me
but she doesn't express that the best way
people say homophobia is not a phobia but it is 100% fear driven
she didn't accept me at first not because she had anything against queer people but because she feared society would be cruel to me
sorry this sounds im trying to one up i think and i hope i don't come off that way
i'm just offering my experience
nooo it’s okay
thank you sm!
what i'll say is your parents what what they think is the best for you (unless if they have NPD and/or are abusive)
but sometimes people have mental issues and traumatic experiences that warp their ability to figure out what's best for their children
and a lot of it is driven by fear, im sure your parents fear idk that you'll go to hell or something that's probably why they reacted the way they did
ok thanks!!
