I'm not sure if I'm straight but I don't want to come out if I take it back in the future. What should I do?

I think the first step that you want to do is explore more, you don't have to come out even if you are sure. Exploring yourself is always a great as you get to see things in different perspective, differently and even if after so you realise that you are straight, its your life and you know what's best for you. So just keep be your authentic self and dont worry about label

Wait until you’re ready, I found it helpful to come out to in person while I was still figuring it all out cos then it seemed like less of a secret

It is often that people may question thier sexuality. If you are thinking of coming out, make sure you are in a safe environment in which you can do so. On the other hand, not coming out is just fine. You should always wait until you are sure to label yourself as something (gay, straight, bisexual, etc.), but it is normal to be unsure. You should take your time deciding what you want. Experiment in different areas to find out what you prefer. Don't be afraid to try something new.

You can come out now an figure out that you're straight later. It's called a phase and it's ok to go through several sexualities before you land on the right one.

You should try and figure out your feelings. Take your time thinking about what you truly are interested in, and choose what you want to do then.

People mature and change throughout their lives. I originally thought I was Bisexual, but when I found out about asexuality, then that is what I identified as. Most people don't think much of Asexuality because it is so rare, being only about 1-2% of the population. I never know if or when I might change my sexuality because sexuality can be fluid. I suggest you say that you are straight until proven otherwise, or you could say Bisexual. Either way, you can change your sexual orientation as you grow up and mature. Your choice, either way.

Figuring yourself out first is best, find out and explore what you like, reminder not being straight isn’t something that you need to announce unless you’re comfortable, and if you want to tell people you arent straight, and you feel as if you need to take it back, that is also ok! Your decisions belong to you and you only, no one had a say in it. I believe this is something you need to figure out first, because it takes a lot to determine what you like, so do that before anything, but if you feel like sharing it now, then do so, its ok to.
