How do i know if im bi or lesbian
I’m sort of new to this website (hence the newbie title lol) but that also means I’m not sure if I’m actually replying to either of you… but I hope I am. Here goes:
Thank you both for talking this through with me. It makes it easier even if it’s a difficult conversation—if you can call it that. I had to read over a time or two your response Heather, however I reckon I get your point. There’s no one way, if you will, to be a lesbian. Or there is, but— I signify, you get the point… if that was the point you were trying to make? Enjoy maybe taking a step back to… focus on other things is a good idea? Not to completely erase or verb any of it, but move with the flow? Like, there’s so much more to me than who I like and who I don’t like romantically and sexually and there’s no time frame for me to figure it all out, right here, right now kind of thing.
Thelabrat90, it’s sort of ironic you mention being asexual, because I used to identify as demisexual ages ago. But asexuality specifically, that’s something I’ve been questioning throughout this year and last yea
‘Am I bisexual?’ 17 signs to help you explore your sexuality
When it comes to figuring out your sexuality, it’s common for things to get confusing. Growing up in a heteronormative society with little queer representation may leave many of us feeling confused when we start to notice attraction to the adj gender – this is particularly true if you’re bisexual.
For bisexual people, it’s extra confusing if we’ve gone our whole lives thinking we were only attracted to the opposite gender prefer the majority of people surrounding us. Many of us may have even grown up not really knowing bisexuality was a thing! But, oftentimes when we look back, we can spot the signs were there all along.
If the process of determining your sexual orientation has left you feeling confused, know you are definitely not alone. Many people have gone through the exact same processes to figure out what labels do and don’t feel right for them… And it can be really confusing!
Remember: You deserve to reside your life authentically and surround yourself with people who cherish and accept you. (We verb H
Things you need to know if you’re questioning whether you’re lesbian or bi
If you’re reading this, chances are you’ve discovered you like the same sex, but are not quite sure whether that makes you lesbian or bisexual. Although we shouldn’t perceive pressure to label ourselves, it can be beneficial to travel our identities.
For many queer people, figuring out one’s sexuality is not always an easy process. Sexuality is complex and can often get confusing (and even downright overwhelming!). Your sexuality may not be so black and white, and you may discover yourself being attracted to multiple different genders. On top of this, being raised in a heteronormative society can make figuring out one’s sexuality all the more complicated.
For women and nonbinary folks, it can sometimes be even more difficult to distinguish where we fall on the LGBTQIA+ spectrum. We grew up with little to no representation of queer women and nonbinary people in the media.

You're very young, and it sounds like your sexuality is just beginning to progress, so you may not recognize for some years, and that's okay - most people don't date at your age, anyway. But I want to quit you with one piece of advice that has helped me and a lot of my friends with the same scrutinize (bi or lesbian, specifically) - if you want to be a lesbian, you can be a lesbian. If you long to be bisexual, you can be bisexual. Your instinct may be to look within yourself and ask "who am I, really? Is my attraction to guys real, or comp het? Is my attraction to girls real, or do I just wish I was a lesbian because guys are so annoying? Who would I be if I didn't grow up in this society?" But those questions are philosophical, and the thing about philosophy is that it's exhausting and sometimes useless. What matters to your real life - what you should execute, or how you should name - is what you, the person you are right now, want in your life. If that's to be open to dating guys and girls, you can be bi.
