How do you understand if you're gay or bisexual?

It's really hard to understand stuff like this, I didn't figure it out until 5 years after I was questioning. Basically, the best thing is to just let it take its course. Date people you love, and maybe you'll find out that you like men and women, or just women, or just men. It's not something that's easy, but it's part of who you are.

It can take some time. Don't rush it. Don't listen to what people tell you about YOUR sexuality. It is about you not them. Evaluate what you like about each gender.

Do you feel attraction to the same gender and/or could imagine to have a relationship with them? Think about those things. I found out through a lot of procrastinating.

It can be very confusing to understand yourself when you have a crush of the same sex. The difference between bisexual and gay is that bisexual people find both genders attractive, whereas, someone who is gay, they are attractive to one gender. Make sure that you take your time and think about if you are attracted to both sexes or the same sex.

There are many ways to tell if you think you're gay or bisexual. If the question is about distinguishing between the two, I would think about how happy you'd be seeing yourself with a future involving different genders, seeing if one would make you happier or more comfortable, and sometimes that helps to clear the air. To determine if you are gay or not, I would give similar advice, but don't rush things. Sexuality (and gender) are both fluid. Some people like labels and others don't, but changing the label you use as you continue to grow older shouldn't be something that stresses you out, if anything, you are just becoming more authentic.

Hi! i am bisexual and the process of discovering myself was not at all easy. It was very frustating at first and even now i can't say i am not confused. I have always liked boys but recently i found out that i like [ and have liked] girls too. At first, when i read the word bisexuality, it seemed foreign to me. But then, one day, I realised that i like a girl and it was not easy then. I spent hours convincing myself about this and that, trying to figure out myself. One thing i learned was that, never try to define to act accordingly. Feel what you feel. If you like boys, cool, girls- also cool and both, cool. Just be yourself.
