I am very confused about my sexuality. How can I determine what my sexuality really is?

There are several different ways of thinking about what makes a person gay. Some people will argue that one's sexuality is determined only by who you sleep with, while others argue that sexuality is about one's innate preference for one gender or another. Still, others believe that sexuality is a construct that is more or less forced on people through socialization.

There is nothing wrong with experimenting. Ask people out people you are attracted to. Maybe ask someone you know who is queer and can give you some insight. Have fun! This could be a very enlightening period of your life. Keep in mind that everyone is on a spectrum. I know men who are straight their entire life and then find out after they are married that they are gay. I also have a friend that is adamant she is lesbian, but is now in a straight relationship because she loves her boyfriend. Sexuality is incredibly fluid, and it will take some time and experimentation to figure out. Trust yourself, there are no mistakes. Only another step to self discovery.

Sounds like you are confused about your feelings. I think that you are the expert on you. In my experience things like this take time and patience to discover.

Do not try to define yourself. Just be with the person you feel like. If you feel like being with girls, be with a girl. If you feel like being with boys, be with a boy. If you feel like being with both, be with both! Do not label you, the label doesn't matter, just do what you want at the moment

You just need time to understand this. Just try to understand your feelings. How do you feel when you are seeing hot person of your gender? If it interest you? Maybe do you have feeling to both genders? It's ok o feel like that

I wouldn't think much about it, especially all the terms! In the end, what matters is what you want, you don't have to find some term to fit you exactly. You can experience things with people, or you can simply just not think about it. Also don't forget that your sexuality doesn't define you in any way, and that it can change over time.

It is good if you could talk to a specialist on this. Determining your sexuality is a very lengthy process it takes a lot of time and effort. You can also take it one step at a time by dating.

In the end, nobody can tell you what your sexuality is but you. I realize that this might not be the answer you're looking for (it's certainly not the one I was looking for when I was questioning my sexuality), but it's also a very empowering realization to have. Maybe you switch labels, maybe you're mainly attracted to one gender with the occasional exception, maybe you're bi or pan or maybe you'll decide you don't want a label at all. The great thing is, you get to decide, and you're not obligated to explain your decision or even to share it. Ask yourself who you're attracted to, who you'd like to be in a relationship with, and why you like those people- just thinking about and exploring your feelings towards others is often super helpful when you're questioning your sexuality. Just remember, you're unique, and your preferences are valid.

You can for example look around on the internet for definitions of different sexualities. You can then see if there's a specific one that you feel matches you and the way you feel perfectly. You can discuss your sexuality with the people around you or in chat forums. But in the end, only you can label yourself. Whatever sexuality you say you are, is the one you are. Or you can choose not to label yourself at all. It's all up to you and what feels best for you.

If you are confused, just give it a time. you don't have to say who you are, just at this moment of your life.
