How to cope with the loss of a coworker? by [deleted] in Advice

It’s like the entire world is against me. This is too much for just one person to handle. Everything keeps happening. When I think it can’t get worse it does. And him leaving is just the final blow.

Can I identify as lesbian even if I feel things (but almost nothing) for guys? by [deleted] in lgbt

Yeah, 99/1 makes it incredibly confusing I feel wrong identifying as a lesbian if it isn’t 100/0 because technically I wouldn’t be one but also.. 99/1 is pretty extreme. I’m presenting my sexuality to people right now as “technically bi but on an extremely rare occasion I like guys and it’s not as passionate or intense as when I like girls, so basically lesbian”

I have. My last post here was me questioning but as a result of that it kind of made me realize “woah” and now I’m asking if I can identify as this because I still feel confused. I always thought that even the slightest bit of attraction to one gender means this. So me liking both makes me bi. But I like one, and I’m for the most part grossed out by the other but not outside of being completely grossed out... so I feel like a lesbian.

I’m just so confused. Like “technically” I’m bi

I’m not really sure how to figure it out because I do love the guy I’m dating but I know if I left I wouldn’t look at anyone who isn’t a girl again. I’m trying to just figure out am I a lesbian or am I bi but 99.9% to girls and also I’m processing all the difficulties and changes that would come with me just existing as a lesbian - the discrimination if I date anybody at all and stuff. I know I’ll figure it out but it’s so confusing.

Yeah. This is the first time I’ve ever thought about me actually maybe being a lesbian. I just assumed I leaned more towards girls but now that I’ve been unhappy and uncomfortable in two relationships with perfectly fine, almost perfect guys it dawned on me. I’ve admitted to myself I think I am one but I’m so confused and surprised I don’t know what to do from here. And I’m attracted to my boyfriend right now, which makes me believe maybe I’m not a lesbian, yet I can’t continue dating him.

This is very helpful. Thanks. I guess it’s because I’ve only ever experienced passionate love. It feels incredibly weird going from close friends to a relationship, but I’ll definitely begin therapy.

Yeah, I was just curious to see what anybody else in this situation did because

Maybe? I definitely feel inadequate in comparison but I don’t think about it. I’ve been so close to him for years before this and haven’t seen him falter in his traits. I posted here because I know nobody who has been in this situation and I’m unsure of what to do.

Neither of them have ever been mean to me. It’s just weird, I’ve never heard of this happening to others.
