    The thing is, when I‘m on the subway or something like that, both boys and girls catch my attention. But that‘s kinda the only time that I think boys are attractive.
    And I can‘t say I‘m gay or I‘m bi to myself.. I don‘t know why, I just can‘t. But in general I find it real hard to say the words gay or lesbian.

    Don't worry that's quite common.

    When you see a guy or girl that catches your attention how do you feel if you imagine holding their hand or cuddling?

    I don‘t really feel anything when I imaginge doing that with a boy. With a girl it is different but I don‘t know how to describe that.

    That's ok you don't have to be able to describe it. I'm not sure how I would describe it, maybe like warm and fuzzy inside, maybe just that I was drawn to someone even though I don't know how or why.

    Warm and fuzzy inside would probably come close as to what I would describe it.

    I can't tell you what you are but to me it definitely sounds like you are attracted to girls, you are just still working on accepting that and discovering what it means for you.

    Yeah, that's probably what it is. It´s just a shitty situation for me right now. But thank you so much for answering, you don't know how much you've helped me.

    That's ok anytime, you can always post threads or write on my wall if you want to talk.

    Why do you say it's a shitty situation right now?

    Because I don't know what I am and my friends keep asking me who my crush and I don't want to lie to them but I also don't want to tell them. I mean I want to talk to someone about it, but I can´t . Also because I´ve been thinking about this for so long already and I'm pretty much as clueless about what I am, as I was when I started thinking about it. On top of that I'm in my final year of school right now and it´s just so hard.

    Yeah I completely get that. Truly there is no good time, but your last year of school wouldn't be my pick. I think you have probably figured out more than you realise, it's just society always pushes the heteronormative against us and so it can be a bit of a battle to begin with.
    I'm not saying you should tell your friends but what makes you say you can't?
    As for the crush, could you say you don't have one right now?

    I once tried telling a good friend of mine but I couldn't do it. And after that I felt so bad and ashamed for days because i was so scared that she might have caught on (I don't think she did) but I don't want that to happen again.
    And I did tell my friends that I don't have a crush but then they keep showing me pictures of guys and asking which one I find cute/hot and I know it would just be so much easier to just say that I like one but I would just feel way too embarrassed. I'm really not good at talking about such things.

    No I totally get that you don't want to lie. I think that's one of the worst things about having discovered your sexuality but not being out. When you are oblivious and thinking you are straight it's easier to answer their questions. Even if you don't feel much for any of the guys, you just answer honestly with the one you like the most but once you start questioning you become much more sensitive to all of this and you are in this kind of limbo where you feel like you can't move forward or go back. At least that's how it felt for me.

    Did you feel ashamed because you couldn't go through with telling her?

    Oh ok so you thought she might of worked it out. Being attracted to girls isn't something you should be ashamed of, but it get it. Don't worry if you are not ready to tell anyone then there is no pressure, you will know when the time is right.

    Yeah it‘s just that I feel so alone with it.
    But from what you‘ve read would you say that I‘m only attracted to girls or is there a chance that I might also be attracted to guys?

    Well being alone can be tough, for me chatting to lots of people on EC helped me feel less alone. It isn't a replacement for real life people to talk to but until that's a possibility it's the best substitute there is. People here are generally really friendly.
    There is always a chance you might be attracted to guys but right now from what you have written it sounds like I'd say more just leaning towards girls.

    No worries, try not to stress about it too much, even though it seems really bad, it will be ok :slight_smile:
