That person from that article probably has a social circle with alot of gay/bi/trans friends so they have confirmation bias. Over 95 percent of people identify as straight, so that person is expressing their biased opinion, not fact. So your not strange or odd for identying that way (not that any sexuality is strange, we all sit somewhere on the sliding scale of sexuality, no one is 100% gay or 100% straight) you just love your truth and except yourself for whatever you are (or aren't). Try and accept uncertainty and think no matter what you are...it's ok.

Yes I was trying to say that, but I couldn’t remember what confirmation bias was for a second lol. But I totally agree. Sexuality is a spectrum just live it up no matter where you are.

That’s their opinion. People do try things, but not everyone wants to or does and I don’t think you should be outed as a weirdo for being straight. I don’t think people realize what they say half the time and what implications it has. I know that article and it triggered me too, but I just had to remember that that is their interpretation of the world and what is “odd” and normal. I mean by that persons logic being completely gay would be odd too, which I don’t agree with. I personally believe that everyone is different and that you are your own normal. Some people try things some people don’t. No one is an odd ball.

That helped a lot thanks. I mean I’m sure it would sound weird to someone else that a straight person feels odd, but today was just a bad day as a boy I liked just got a girlfriend and then seeing that and being triggered. I guess I feel like I have to be with girls now because I can never get dates with any guys

@Madeline I was definitely at that point too. I just couldn’t get a boyfriend and I thought that it meant I had to be with girls, but I don’t. I just need to wait for the right person. I don’t really read those type of articles anymore because they are bias and opinion based. I mean I’m glad that lgbt people feel more comfortable and that people feel better about trying things in 2020, but I don’t think the people who aren’t interested in trying things or are straight should be penalized for it. We’re all different why not celebrate it instead point fingers and calling people weird

it’s not odd to be straight when most people are straight.

It’s been a while but
The thoughts still exist. For the last couple months I’ve been able to say I don’t care and lean into the comfort of being uncertain. Im having a tough time with some things personally right now and guess what decides to show up… Anyways, I’ve been trying to get used to the fact that maybe I’m bisexual with a romantic preference for men (I’m married and love my husband) but when you start going through your compulsions it’s soooo easy for everything to blur out. To my knowledge I’ve never had a crush on a woman but I’ve most definitely watched same sex porn and have thought women are hot and beautiful, then come the thoughts about comp het and how I’ve never been an overly sexual person so that MUST mean something. Ugh idk, just looking for someone to chat with I guess!

The phrase I’m gay just keeps popping up
Anyone else will just be doing anything normal and I’m gay comes in? It’s so distressing and I try and say ok sure ocd but the anxiety over takes me and my mind won’t let me believe I’m straight when I am. I love men I’m Not attracted to women but when I ask myself the doubt is for sure there which sounds like Casebook ocd. I’m just sick of this I don’t want to have to laugh at things in my head that don’t make any sense it’s so hard and unfair
