I don’t know if this is helpful, but even if you were gay or bi, there would be no pressure on you to come out. You don’t need a label or to announce to the world you’re a certain thing. You don’t need to act on those feelings or thought because it’s entirely your own personal experience. It’s okay to not feel any attraction at the moment. Often I lose attraction to anybody when I’m obsessing over what I am and aren’t attracted to. It’s only natural with all the anxiety built around it.

Hey, just know, if you wanted to kiss women, you already would have. I'm pan, but didn't realize it until later in life. I thought everyone made out with women at college parties. Apparently not. I also know that if my husband and I ever broke up, I would openly date a woman because I genuinely find them sexually attractive. Our actions and experiences shape who you are, and if you haven't taken any action and won't... it's just an OCD conspiracy theory against you. Let it go. ? We landed a man on the moon. The Egyptians built the pyramids. You're not gay.

Feeling lost :(
So i started to feel like a lesbian again and that i have to be one. I dont want to be one. I just dont. But being straight feel like a lie now. I question my whole life, my feelings and everything. The biggest indicator of this must be that i will be slowly 21 year old and ive never dated anyone and i dont really find anyone attractive and i dont even know if i truly was attracted to someone and im scared of relationships i might have trauma or have anxious avoidant attachment. Help me. I do feel lost. Really lost. I dont know who am I anymore. I feel like that i must have been gay my whole life now. I feel like an alien. I sometimes feel like 2 people are living inside of me.😞😞😞

Uncertainty sucks.
I’m trying to live with uncertainty but it doesn’t feel right. The “I may or may not be bi/gay” really sucks because I can’t stop ruminating, analyzing, or checking. This especially sucks because I feel like literally EVERYTHING in my life leads to the fact that I’m a fraud which feels horrible. I can’t even talk to my friends the way I used to without feeling like I’m lying about myself. The false attraction and loss of attraction to men is literally horrible because now I feel like the life i fantasized for myself isn’t something I want.

I feel like this is it
I had a bad rumination spiral yesterday and went to bed hoping I’d start over in the morning. I was wrong. I had dreams about liking women and not being attracted to men anymore and my entire body has been in a state of anxiety since. I genuinely feel like I’m gay and just need to accept it. I have this urge to accept it. Maybe if I do I’ll get some sort of relief because this feeling is awful. I feel like my brain is telling me that I’ll get relief if I just accept it and come out. The intrusive thoughts don’t even seem to be around sexual images anymore, just to come out.
