I'm having trouble figuring out if I'm gay or bi. I think I'm gay, but I've 'liked' guys in the past. I'm pretty sure that was just me being DESPERATE for ANYONE to have, but I don't know. I'm a very all-or-nothing person, I would hate to be bi. So I guess I'll just be gay (lol) but like........ i have no idea


Hey, I'm Jonah. I like Degrassi, writing, and hanging out with friends. I'm sixteen years old and I am FTM transgender, although these days I identify more as just plain male.
I just wrote up a huge thing about the significance of my username, just to find out it was too long. So if you're curious about it, feel free to ask me.
I used to go on here a lot, but lately I don't go on very much at all. Either way, you should still leave me a message some time, I'm very friendly

Don't worry too much about what you are.
You are what you are and you are you.
No need to label yourself as gay or bi.
If you want to be gay then be gay.
If that's not working, then you aren't gay.
Experiment see what you like.
You'll know eventually. =)

I agree completely with DeadlySin! You'll know who you are eventually - you really don't need to stress about it. I would have sworn up and down that I was straight until I was about 14. For the past year and a half, there've been a couple periods of a month or two where I'd've sworn up and down that I was gay. It can be annoyingly fluid, haha.

You might find that you do comfortably fit in "gay" - or that you want to call yourself "gay with exceptions" - but don't stress about the label! That's not the important part about your sexuality. =]

I can relate.
When I first realised I wasn't straight, I started freaking out, and trying to figure out whether I was bi or gay. That really stressed me out, though, so in the end I decided that it didn't really matter. Who I fell in love with would be who I fell in love with.
I know what it feels like, to need to label yourself as 'bi' or 'gay' or 'straight' or whatever, but, honestly, I'm much happier where I am now: no labels, no pressure to find out what my sexual preferences are.
If you want to talk about any of this, feel free to PM me, but my advice is this: don't stress over little things like labels. Just be yourself, and be happy with that.

don't worry about sticking a label on yourself. [not being patronising] but you're still so young and it's completely normal to be confused about your sexuality. some people still haven't figured it out in their 20's, so really.. there is no rush.


..and our dreams will break the boundaries of our fears..
