I can't :'(

[.Heartfelt.Guardian.]

I'm attracted to girls and don't feel anything for guys and am really scared that everyone's going to hate me. I know it's not going to change but I don't like it I don't like this feeling I can't like girls no on will accept me no one will understand I'm scared I'm alone in this and I don't want this. But as someone told me you can't pick who you love it just happens I don't want this it's not fair cry myself to sleep or not sleep at all it's not fair I didn't want this I don't want this

It started when I was talking to my friend online and she started to flirt with me right then and there I felt like I really wanted to flirt back. And so I did by the end of are conversation my eyes were watery and I was crying a lot I know I can not accept these feelings and it's the first time I have ever felt close to someone .

I actually cried while writing this, I dont want to accept this for myself.

Hey there.

First off, no matter what, your feelings are not wrong, and you shouldn't feel bad about them. Forgetting for a moment that some people might be less than accepting, what's holding you back from coming to terms with your feelings? Love is love, and your friend is right - you can't choose who you're attracted to.

The thing is, these feelings could change. Being attracted to one gender now doesn't mean you always will be, or that you won't be attracted to the other at some point. For now, just go with what you feel. For example, 'At the moment, I like girls' rather than 'I must be a lesbian'. Don't jump to conclusions - sexuality is fluid, so it can - and probably will - change during your lifetime.

These feelings are a part of you, but they don't define you. If people can't accept you for exactly who you are - including who you like - then they're probably not worth your time. There are people who've been through what you're going through, so you are definitely not alone, even if it may feel that way. Sexual orientation isn't something you consciously choose, so it's nothing you should feel responsible for. It's okay to take your time adjusting to it. I remember when I first realised I wasn't straight, I had quite a bit of trouble reconciling that thought. I had no problem with LGBT people, but I kept thinking, 'No, that can't be me'. Just give yourself as much time as you need to come to terms with it, and remember: whatever you feel, there's nothing wrong with it.

Take care.

Hey Kayla,

No matter what your feelings are, they are not wrong. You shouldn't feel bad or guilty for liking girls. For you, that's what's right. Like Chess said, ignore what everyone else thinks for a moment and figure out what else is holding you back. If it's just other people's opinions, then ignore them. People are gonna say what they want. Even straight couples have to hear negative opinions sometimes.

Here's the other thing: you're 17. It's totally normal to question your sexuality at this stage in your life. So, don't slap a label on yourself just yet. Experiment a little bit and find out what makes you happy. You have plenty of time to decide that. So, don't stress yourself out over it.

Feel free to shoot me a message if you want to talk.

i accept you no matter how you are and i will always be here for you when you need someone. if i can't help you know i will try to find you someone who could help. you can tell me anything and you know i won't tell. you are who you are for one reason or another. you will never be alone, never ever!

why can't you accept than you aren't "the normal", that you are a little different?

May I slap you? Quit thinking that something is wrong with you! You are perfectly fine so just accept yourself for the great unique normally cheerful and joking person you are! Thank you .
