These thoughts that you might be gay seem to come from intrusive thoughts linked to anxiety rather than through noticing attraction to guys, so...
Personally, I would say lay off the obsessive tests. I don't know if you're mentioning that you're doing this to your therapist, but it doesn't...
Yay for you! :relaxed: I think that's what I aim for too. I had a lot of silly thoughts going round my head, saying "does it mean I don't value...
Yes, that sums it up perfectly. Just from letting go of that falsehood I feel so much freer in myself and I am happier as a result. I am not daft,...
I agree. It became a positive feedback loop where the more time passed the more I could deny, by saying I would have been out sooner if it was...
You don't need to be specific. Detach yourself from the labels. Just focus on who you are, and try to do so without judgment. Just accept...
Thanks everyone! I can't believe I've actually accepted it. I'm still adjusting. Part of me feels like I am in mourning for losing a part of me,...

I've messaged one, making a generic how you're doing message. When she responds I will ask for a video chat and take it from there.
Hi all, After many years of confusion and repression of feelings I am finally comfortable with being gay. The shame of being gay is subsiding. I...
Do whatever you feel comfortable with. If you feel like going further with sexual activity is not yet right for you, don't force yourself into it....
I agree with others who have said that this is an anxiety/OCD issue, by the sounds of it. If you were gay you wouldn't have to force yourself to...
Sorry for the late response everyone. Thank-you for the kind words. It's early days, so I am still coming to terms with it all. I am just trying...
