Perfect therapy for people who need help. I would like to say, I never can imagine it could be possible to heal people like that

Sometimes you'll know when you're young or later in life, and it's fine and normal to feel this way. You are not sinning 'God' or your friends and family and not yourself. There's nothing wrong for the kind of gender you chose to love. Love is love no matter what. You'll know and it'll be a little scary and new but you'll know and you'll be okay.

Only you can decide that for yourself. I know it may be confusing which is why you have as much time as you need to figure this out. You don't even have to identify as gay, lesbian or bisexual if you don't want to, you can just say you're queer, or you're still questioning. The main point is that you are you, and no one can change that. Don't let anyone bring you down about sexual orientation, either. You are beautiful, and you are valid.

Typically is is quiet obvious. I do not know how old you are, but most people will start to know what gender they are attracted to by the time they reach high school. It is simply a matter of which gender turns you on. If you don't get turned on, then you may be asexual. Romantic attraction and sexuality are two different things, so that should also be taken into consideration. I am asexual, but I chose not to define myself romantically. Figuring out what gender you are attracted to romantically is a bit more difficult, so remember that you don't have to know. Hope this helps!
