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

I personally struggled with this myself, I spoke to others that had gone through the same. I went out and experimented to try to make sense of what was going on. There are sites that can help with figuring you sexuality out, but at the end of the day you have to look inside yourself, as no one can make the decision for you.

You can determine you sexuality just by knowing what youre more attracted to. There are so many sexualities out there so you could be more than just gay/lesbian, trans, bi, or wtv.

I don't know if anyone really knows what their sexuality is. It's a fluid thing. You have no need to label yourself anytime soon. You can go through life without labeling yourself. Society today gives us this pressure to label ourselves and when we don't, we feel lost. But we don't need to. As of now, I label myself as bisexual and when I'm not fully 100% attracted to every woman I come across, I feel slightly lost. I always question, am I really bisexual? But deep down, I know I am. I know I like both genders. You don't need to label yourself. One day you can be straight and the next you can be whatever you want.

Experiment. That's probably the best advice I can give. Just try out what seems interesting and you might find out what fits for you :)

Experience life, learn more about yourself, it will make it easier to cope with. Sexuality is a rollercoaster and often people do not understand what is happening in their bodies, but my best advice is to go with the flow because you do not have to have yourself figured out.

You can try to explore your feelings, emotions, sensations, fantasies and desires. You can do that by picturing yourself with people of different genders, pondering how each of those thoughts and fantasies makes you feel. Try to do that by pretending the rest of the world doesn't exist, so you won't be be conditioned by anything else, like other people's possible opinions. If you manage to be honest with yourself, with time you will find your answer! It might also help you to get in contact with the LGBT community and listen to their experiences, to get an idea of what was determinant in their realizations of their sexuality - but ultimately, you're the only one who can determine who you are.

Well every sexuality is different it really depends on what it is. I would recommend a professional just in case.

It can be very difficult to determine sexuality and romantic orientation, but the only one who can figure out is yourself. I advise reading about all kinds of orientation, and thinking about who you have felt attracted to, or if you have been attracted to anyone at all. And experimenting is a very good thing to do, even if you end up on what you initially thought you were !
