When my bestfriend told me she was into me and i was okay with it without even thinking about it. I flirted back and let her kiss me and didn't even self reflect about how she was a whole female lol

I am not a lesbian, I am bisexual or pansexual, I think. As a new girl came to school this year, I fell in love with her. I was very surprised, because I thought, I was hetero, but now I accept, that I have a crush on this girl.

Hi I am in my early thirties. I came out last year as lesbian/queer and broke up w my bf of 3 years. I considered myself pansexual before that and had mostly dated men. My relationships w women and nb people have been so much more emotionally involved and I want that in a partner too.

💜 Love that you were able to find that out about yourself too. It has made a big difference for me and I still question it some and the validity of my label but it feels more true to who I am. Would you want to share more of your experience,? It's ok if not 😊

@goldenCat9952

It's ok to not be 100% sure! It's not so easy to figure out and people have different specifics on what they consider for themselves. You are still valid 💛

Hi I'm new to 7cups I came on here to connect with people and possibly make new friends. I'm really struggling with my identity, I've been with guys since 17, Im 47, and I feel very alone. Im wondering if Im gay?! I did question in my 20s but didn't pursue it. Anyways maybe someone can shed some light?!

Thanks

@Betterdays14 I know the feeling. I'm 47 and feel the same.

@Betterdays14

Hi, glad you are here! It's hard to know for sure and I'm still trying to figure it an exact label or if I even need one. A thing that has helped is something called "the lesbian master doc" you can Google. I think it's like 3 or so pages and gives you some ideas on signs you might be a lesbian (not conclusive of course and even if you don't relate to most of any, your identity is still valid) sending hugs if wanted 🤗

I knew since age 9, but didn’t come fully out until 29. It was a hard, painful journey and I am so grateful to finally be in the other side of that.


It’s so worth it to be on the other side.

At the age of 12

I met this girl, my first love who was even more than a Bestfriend since day 1

We told ourselves that we would marry each other in a few years(kids promises)

Since 2019, I knew that I was into girls but I closeted myself as bi till 2021 where I tried to discover more about the fact that I never felt right being with a guy

And now in 2022

I know that I'm a lesbian

Growing and trying to accept myself

i was around 7? first to second grade. i was telling everyone about it. this one girl, she had been bullying me at that time. she told the teacher and the teacher said "that's just her preference"


now i am questioning, but i think I'm Lesbian. sexuality and gender is hard for me.

I feel like I've always known that I like girls because I can't pinpoint the exact time it registered. I identified as bisexual til I went to a girls' high school then I went by Queer & Confused😂. Right before I met my (first and current) girlfriend I realised that I only liked male attention and not men at all. I now go by lesbian but I haven't come out as one because I feel comfortable as Queer, except that I'm not confused this time around😄. It's been a confusing and scary journey but I've had great support from close friends and family.

18. Then was promptly banished from the family for decades. Because I "chose" a sick lifestyle over my family.
