Am I gay? am I bisexual?
Why do you come to this site to ask a million complete strangers about your own sexual orientation. We have never met you-we don't know you. Only YOU can decide if your straight, gay, or bi. I just don't get it.

thats true,
but i remember feeling that way. i was so confused and i just wanted someone to tell me. i wanted to take a test. to know for sure. its hard to decide to come out if you arent sure, but you want to come out because you want to meet people. people just want to be sure. eventually, i figured it out on my own. you are right, only you can decide, but its hard when you first have those confusing feelings. you want answers, you dont yet know the answers are only within you.

I think that some people come to an open forum on the Internet because they either do not have anyone they can talk to in their real lives or they like the fact that they can ask questions anonymously which is more comfortable for them.
It is very sad if you think about it, that they don't have others to talk to besides a bunch of strangers on here.
As far as people asking about their sexual orientation on here, they are probably struggling to deal with telling their families and friends, and are desperately seeking some support and positiveness about their choices.
Many people struggle with their sexuality for decades of their lives. I am straight and always have been, but others do not feel that way and have lived a life of lies including cover relationships and marriages because the gay lifestyle has not been accepted by friends and family.
Some of this speaks to how unaccepted and isolated people are feeling in this life of accessibility to everything electronic and fast, and less connection to real living people.

I don't understand the need, the compulsion, to be given a label. Is there some line they have to get into and if they pick the wrong one something bad will happen to them? I see the same meaningless effort being spent by Fundamentalists anxiously researching their Bibles, desperately trying to make sense of it all, as though there will be a final exam on Judgment Day based solely on Bible lore. I wish I knew what went on inside their heads.

Why is that this research focusing on homosexuals? I think that the way in which a mother or father responds to their kid's movements/personalities, without reference to sexual orientation could have a optimistic or poor affect on a youngster's existence. I didn't suppose my dad and mom gave me the affection and aid I wanted while I used to be a youngster and I used to be depressed, suggestion of suicide, and had I the possibility, I usually could have performed greater than opt for up smoking in prime university. (I'm proud to mention that I've been smoke unfastened for just about 4 years.) Of direction the little one goes to have poor reactions and emotions if the dad and mom attempt to drive them to do matters they do not desire to do, they do not reply good with the little one coming to them approximately anything predominant of their lives, and so on. I would not be amazed that if the research distinct youngsters who desired to play basketball or become a member of the chess group however have been compelled to do anything reverse, they could uncover equivalent outcome. So the realization could even be that the researchers had an schedule and are in opposition to homosexual youngsters.

I imagine that they are trying to sort out what they are feeling. Haven't you heard the term "questioning"? What they are doing is trying to find out if the feelings that they are having are really gay attraction.
I know that we can't get in their heads. But we can tell them what is or was in ours when we came to understand our own sexuality. If this helps them then by all means help them and give them as honest an answer that you can.

The same thing goes for people who ask, "Am I pregnant?". Go spend $10-$20 for the home test. It's probably about as accurate as the one the doctor uses, and it's a LOT more accurate than asking me.

They're looking for justification. They need others to help them in their reflection to find the answer.
There is nothing wrong with it. You can't expect everyone to so easily deal with these issues as you have.
