Hey @DrummaBoy welcome back! It's really wonderful reading your thoughts and seeing how self-reflective and honest you are.

 

I've had a similar discussion with myself about bisexuality. It definitely isn't easy to sort out, especially since you're trying to measure your attraction to two groups when you don't have the reference of a romantic relationship, or what it feels like to be not attracted at all 😅 I've had it said to me that if you're questioning your sexuality, you may not be as straight as other people are! Either that or you're more open-minded than most, which is also a great thing to be. 

 

I've also had the question of how to approach my sexuality with my family, who aren't close-minded but have very little experience with people different from themselves and carry the stereotypes of their generation. I decided to tell one of my parents when I was upset about something the other had said. They were more confused than anything else I suppose? It ended up never coming up again, and I didn't feel the need to reintroduce it! My experience of coming out is that there are the 'right' people who will support your experience and make you feel happy for sharing your identity with them, but there will also be people that aren't worth discussing it with. It's all very personal! 

 

It's nice to hear that you have a psychologist who you can discuss all of these feelings with 😊 I wanted to ask what it would mean for you to be able to settle on a description of your sexuality? Do you think it would change the way you view yourself?
