A way that you can figure out your own sexual identity by yourself, would be to take the time. To relax, and enter deep thought, thinking about every aspect of the situation, being truly honest with your conscience. Another way to solve this issue would just be to relax, and allow things to work out the way they do.

Experimenting. Looking into what some of them are. Talking to somebody who knows for sure what they are. Reading defintions of what each one is.

Through your feelings and emotions to another person. If you have feelings both sexually and emotionally to a person in your same gender, it can mean that you might be gay or lesbian. If you have feelings for both gender it can mean that you maybe bisexual.

It can take time for a lot of people to figure this out. It's good to remember that when you find a label or a name that you feel represents you, it might not be as relevant in the future. It's always a fair idea to try asking those who are knowledgeable about the LGBTQIA+ community, and people can definitely help lead you down the right path, but ultimately you're the expert on you. Take some time to sit down and think about who you are. With some research and introspective, I'm positive that you'll find your identity!

I highly recommend two things: research and television shows. This answer may sound silly, but please hear me out. When I was coming to terms with my sexuality, I didn't know where to look for information and I was so desperate to find out what exactly it means to be lgbtq+. So what did I do? I researched and read anything I could get my hands on. The Human Rights Campaign, The Trevor Project, GLAAD have some really helpful information and guides on lgbtq+ issues. As for television shows, I was constantly watching shows that included lgbtq+ characters. This helped me so much. I recommend The L Word (a bit unrealistic, but still helpful). If you need someone to talk to, please contact me!

You, you and only you. Sexual identities develop with you as you grow in your life. They are a formulation of your desires, fantasies and more important, your own self identity. Now, it's you who has decide it eventually as it's you who feels. Just take a step, forget what people say and enjoy your life. However, whatever decisions you make, be satisfied. It's all about contentment and happiness.
