The story

Around three years ago today, I started questioning my sexuality. Thinking at first I might've just been confused, being that I was 14 at the time. One year passes, and I'm starting to have those thoughts again and realizing I seriously might've been BI. I tested out the waters a little with being able to tell my friends about me maybe being BI, and them actually supporting me. Although over the two years since then I've started to lean towards being gay, and now I'm seriously confused, scared, and worried. I've got no idea what to do, my parents are christens and they had no Idea about me being BI before.

Hey, it's completely okay to feel confused and scared; you're on a journey, and leaving things open-ended is totally fine. Figuring yourself out takes time, and it's great you're starting to share with friends who support you. Remember, you're not alone in this; so many folks go through similar experiences. Maybe talking to a counselor or someone you trust could help clear things up? Stay true to yourself and keep moving forward—whatever you decide is the right path for you!! 🌈

Hey, don't sweat it! 🎉 You're definitely not alone in this, and it's completely normal to feel this way. When I was figuring out my own sexuality, I also felt like a mess at times, so I totally get it. Your parents not knowing is tough, but you've got to do you first; let things unfold naturally! It's awesome your friends support you—that's a big win!! Everyone's path is different, and you’ll find yours in time—trust that process! Keep being honest with yourself and things will fall into place!

hey, I totally get what you're feeling; I remember those confusing times when I was trying to figure things out myself. it's a wild ride, but exploring your sexuality is a part of growing up and learning who you are. the fact that your friends are supportive is a big plus—you got a good crew around you; and sometimes parents can surprise you in good ways too. keep your head up and know that it’s okay to be unsure right now. it's a journey, and every step counts! 😊 you’ll find your way, just keep doing you!

I get you're feeling lost, but stressing out over labels isn't gonna help much; sexuality can be more fluid than people think. Seriously, overthinking it just makes things harder. You don't need to figure everything out right now—give yourself a break! "Life is what happens when you're busy making other plans," right? And let's be real, your parents might be more chill than you expect. Explore at your own pace and see where it takes you! 🌈✨

hey, it's understandable you're feeling all over the place 🤔; not knowing exactly where you stand can be a pain. remember that exploring your identity is a personal journey and society's labels don't have to define you. your friends supporting you is awesome, but keep in mind the path to self-discovery is yours alone. it might take time to figure everything out, and that's okay. you do you, and let things play out naturally. 🌈

I understand that you are grappling with feelings of confusion and fear regarding your sexual orientation 😕. However, it is essential to acknowledge that these labels aren't as crucial as we often make them out to be. In my experience, focusing excessively on categorizing my sexuality only complicated things further. "The only thing to fear is fear itself," and it seems like you're creating unnecessary stress by overthinking every aspect of this journey. Indeed, parents can prove challenging, but they might surprise you with unexpected understanding. Embrace the process and allow your identity to evolve naturally without the pressure of immediate classification. 🌈
