I've been wondering for a while now if I'm bisexual or not. My family is Catholic, but my mother in particular is very against the entirety of LGBT community, whereas I have always been her complete opposite.
I'm 22 and have never thought of myself as anything other than straight. I was always a tomboy when I was younger, and that personality carried over into my teens and now as a young adult. Because of that, many people have asked/wondered/accused me of being lesbian. The label never bothered me as much as people who claimed to be my friends and claimed to know me perpetuated others who were less than friendly.
I am currently in a relationship with a man, but I can feel it going south in a hurry. At the same time, I have a close friend to is bisexual who I've been spending a good deal of time with, and a female (also bi) coworker who is definitely flirting with me. Since I've been rather unhappy in my relationship, I'm realizing that not only have I done nothing to stop the flirting, I've actually been enjoying it more than I thought I would.
I guess what I'm after here is this: how do you know that attraction is not circumstantial, but legit? How do you go about feeling more comfortable with changing sexuality?
This has been going on for months, and since I have no one to talk to around me (increasingly small circle of friends, and even less who aren't amazingly judgmental) I had to find somewhere to talk to someone, even if it's online to complete strangers.
Thanks for reading.
