Hi! I’m someone who thinks she might be bisexual, but is unsure. I just feel like I’m too young to decide that, but what if I’m just trying to tell myself I’m not? I know there’s nothing wrong with it and it’s perfectly normal, I just don’t know if I am. Also, if I am bisexual, do I come out? What if I only end up dating boys while being bi? My mom would probably be ok with it and support me, but my dad… not so much. I feel like he’s probably against lgbtq+ but I can’t be sure. Anyway, I’m just really struggling with that right now, so I kinda just wanted to finally get out there that I might not be straight.

@AdaMae You are never too young to figure smth Abt urself out. I know its confusing and it sometimes feels like an unsolved question when you don't find a label that perfectly fits, but when ur first figuring stuff out its gunna b hard. don't worry abt finding a label, just be who you are

@AdaMae
hey I know its confusing but you can pull through! 😺

@AdaMae don't worry about your age, no one is too young to know themselves. Straight people never think they're "too young to know", right? So why would it be different for queer people? Sometimes we just sabotage ourselves and doubt everything because we're scared to be "different". Remember that norms mean nothing, all that matter is that you feel happy and comfortable with yourself and your life, staying true to yourself and your feelings.
So, how do you know who you are? You don't necessarily have to experiment to know it: all you need is exploring your feelings. For me, I tried fantasizing about different scenarios, including relationships with people of different genders, and I analyzed how I responded to that, how those fantasies made me feel. That's really all you need.
Try to focus on finding yourself now, and the rest will come later. Coming out is not mandatory, you should only do it if and when you feel ready, when you want to be free to openly be yourself and you're ready to face that big step. It's not mandatory to share your identity with everyone, you should only do it when you feel like it.
I wish you the best on your journey!

I don't think your too young to figure this stuff out! Hey, i'm like 13, and I already know my romantic/sexual orientation, pronouns, and what gender I identify as. :3 (not cis/straight, tho.) believe in yourself! surround yourself with other queer friends, people who can relate to you, people you can talk to. trust me, it's amazing to be able to talk freely about your gender or sexual/romantic orientation with other people, especially people your age. here for you if you ever need to talk! 💖
