How'd you figure out you were /lgbt/?

by crushing madly on a blonde boy in 6th grade

>>7148268
When i was like 13 i got a crush on my best friend. Knew i liked girls, denied i liked boys too until like a year ago.

>>7148268
Girls were incredibly boring.

probably in my swimming club when i would finish first just so i can look at fellow qt boys swimming before anyone notices

20 desu
before hand I just wanted to be born a girl and all that jazz but I thought it was crazy to feel the way I did so I convinced myself my desire to be a girl and the dislike of my body was just normal for straight guys and once I got a gf I wouldn't feel that way anymore. Well I eventually got a gf at 20 and instead of feeling better about myself I ended up feeling a lot worse about my body and such and kinda figured this stuff probably isn't ever gonna go away

>>7148545
fuck, i can relate. thought having a gf would make me normal. when that didn't work, i thought having a ton of sex would help. When sex turned out to disgust me and my dick never even stayed hard, i thought i was just a submissive guy. When that didn't work, i realized i was just a tranny

looking back now i realize i was attracted to women from a very young age. but when i got to middle school i started "liking" boys because that's what all the other girls did and middle school is prime time for conforming with your peers. so all throughout high school i was in extreme denial even though i developed my first real "feelings" for another girl at that time. i kissed one guy and briefly dated another. i couldn't make it past the holding hands stage with the latter. i assumed it was because i wasn't really attracted to him but i didn't know what attraction truly was at the time.

not long after high school i met this chick that i found interesting and as soon as i heard she was interested in me i dropped everything and pursued her. i felt things i didn't feel for guys, and to this day i have yet to feel like that toward another man. at the time, it was weird how the switch just went off instantly and i stopped being in denial.

getting with her was one of the worst decisions i ever made but it at least prevented me from further delaying the acceptance of being a lesbian.

>>7148268
I was no longer scared by religion or social stigmas. When I saw a dick I liked I just played it off every time and be depressed I looked at porn

When I was about 11 I started feeling attracted to the other boys, but I was terrified of being unmasculine so everytime I had a gay thought I would repeat "I'm not gay" in my head and correct my thoughts. Then when I was 15 something clicked and I realized that being gay was fine

Mine was a pretty slow realization. I internalized a lot of religious upbringing.

a cute girl who i knew online said she had a crush on me, and then later i said that i thought i was bi but i wasn't sure and would she be okay if i turned out not to be? she said she'd be okay so then we internet-dated and i realized that i do indeed like girls

(yes, i know that internet dating can have a catch. i have indeed met said girl twice, and she is who she claims to be. the catch in this case is that i never get to see her IRL.)

Text wall: go

Looking back on it, there were so many painfully obvious signs. How attached I was to my best friend in 6th grade. How nervous I was in the girls locker room in middle school. How much I wanted to cuddle with my female friends. How I couldn't even hug a guy if it might maybe mean something more then just a bro hug.

I was in such complete denial for the longest time it was kind of weird?? Every open-choice essay I wrote about lgbt rights, my freshmen open-choice fictional was two lesbians getting beaten to death, simultaneously hated having boobs but checked myself out in the mirror, and always wanting to play the boy when playing pretend growing up just so that I could woo the girl.

The moment I stopped denying it, it was my junior year of high school and I was driving. "It's Time" by Imagine Dragons came on, and I was just absentmindedly singing along. Being totes gay wasn't even on my mind. When the lyrics 'It's time to begin, isn't it?' played I suddenly became very aware of the lyrics and got really confused for like no reason. Once I sang 'I'm never changing who I am' I suddenly burst into embarrassing tears and I had to pull over cuz I couldn't see the road.

First person I told was a sophomore dude I had just met during construction class who turned out to be bi, but other then that kept it a painfully obvious secret for a long time because I didn't want to be "that gay friend". I already was, I just didn't want to admit they were right. Then in senior year the female friend I had a crush on got together with another female friend I had a small thing for. Realized my secret was a shit secret.

Enter: cute freshmen. Came out shortly after that by telling one friend in casual conversion knowing she would tell all the other friends so I wouldn't have to do the whole 'coming out' thing.

I used to do the same thing now whenever I pretend not to be gay I get turned on

>>7148268
realised I was bisexual at 14 when a literal 11/10 elfin femboy joined my high school (and later went on to be a fashion model, still andro now) and I immediately got butterflies and couldn't stop blushing. basically kawoshin. had been regularly attracted to girls before then.

realised I was trans at 15 when the same person gave a presentation on trans people in class and something suddenly clicked in my head and I was like "oh, fuck's sake." there had been blatant signs throughout my childhood (trying to stretch my vests down over my knees so they'd look like a dress, downloading crossdressing mods for Sims 2) but I didn't pick up on any of it because I have Aspergers and am very dissociated from my emotions due to childhood abuse. it was only when trans people were explained to me and this person explicitly asked the class to think about "are you trans?" I realised. was still living with parents though so couldn't start HRT or come out til 21. had already masculinised fully by 16-17.

>>7148268
I remember watching The Terminator and dividing my time pretty much equally between Michael Biehn and Linda Hamilton.

When i was 13 i saw a law and order svu episode showcasing a trans teen and i got really curious and started researching it and alot of shit started to make sense

I have always been interested in women, at least for as long as I can remember. I started developing feelings for men during secondary school though. I distinctly remember the first time when I felt some sense of attraction to another boy. It was summer so the school year was ending and our teacher had decided to hold class outside. Another student had taken his tie off and was still a little unsure of how to, well, tie a tie (we were about thirteenth or fourteenth at the time) so he asked me. I think it was the closeness of it all. Just peering into his eyes (he had these fucking beautify chestnut brown eyes) whilst only being a few centimetres away from him. It felt weirdly intimate. I spent the rest of the day just thinking about him. I had already begun to have romantic and sexual feeling towards women at this age but this was the first time someone of the same sex made me feel this way.

I'm kinda jelly of your revelations, I'm 24 and still don't know.

I stuck something in me bum and I liked it

I figured I just liked girls as a kid, at some point in beginning puberty I started getting attracted to women and men. I don't remember exactly when I realized I was bi but I didnt think about it too much

>>7148268
Started noticing I only paid attention at guys on straight porn
Got hyper confused and in denial
Could only jack off to men
Then I saw a movie, an on the movie there was a guy so hot that I didn't cared anymore that I was gay all that happened when I was 14

Figure out, or accept after having repressed for decades?

I should have known when I was thirteen, and a friend and I fucked on the regular for a few months. But I was small, and it was the mid-90's, when it was still accepted and encouraged to beat up scrawny little "faggots". The relationship sort of dried up, and I repressed. I always knew girls were awesome, but I also jerked off to cocks and cumshots, and I also used toys (whatever worked, really) up my ass.
Went to college, made a few very, very close friends, some of whom are now openly gay or bisexual. Could have come out then, but noooooo. Early 2000's. Everyone still made fun of scrawny little "faggots".
Get job, get married. Have kids. Not even mad about my sex life (it's great). Wife is a knockout, a best friend, a companion, and a comrade. Still don't come out, still outright jerk off to gay porn, and now that I'm a grown up, I can afford real dildos. So I got an 8". That I learned to deep throat. And take up the ass. With minimal prep.
Watching TV on night with my wife, had a few glasses of wine. She comments on how hot the lead female on the show is. Repetitively. I ask her, half-joking, if she was bi. She reflected the question back on me without answering. I told her the truth.
She said she was too. We talked. We shared. We were both physically attracted to both sexes equally. We could both live with and love a member of the same sex as a spouse. We'd both been with the same sex before. I cried. She understood (way easier to be a hetero-normative girl that fucked around with women a few times than a straight guy that ever thought about a dick even once ever).
It's made everything, including sex, much better. I'm coming out more and more now. I'm pretty happy.

Same, except that I was 14 when it happened, and was in denial about the boy thing until two years ago in stead of 1.

>elfin femboy
Damn, pics please, if possible?

>>7148268
When I was younger for some reason I always had this strange obsession about books where boys turned into girls. I would get thoughts about if I can do that then push it out of my head because that was "weird". Then I learned what was trans was and thought shit this applies to me.

>>7155061
Do you think bisexuals should date other bisexuals? Idk exactly why, but I'm a bi female and I seem to always find myself attracted to bi men, even when they're not out yet. It's like I have some sort of weird subconcious connection with them.

>>7155138
Lol, we do connect well, don't we?

And hell yes you should. You SHOULD be with whoever you're attracted to and compatible with in whatever capacity you both want.

>>7155119
wouldn't really be fair without their permission honestly
also the only pics of him I have from back then are sfw but still underage by definition so it's kinda doubly iffy

i was like "wow i'm bisexual" so i decided to come here so trannys could yell at me famalam

When I was 10 I used to get naked with my best friend and make out until we got hardons but we never did anything more than that.

When I was 16 I used to draw pictures of naked men with really big cocks and jack off to them but I still thought of myself as straight and I had a gf (but we never had sex beyond me fingering her and her giving me blowjobs)

When I was 21 I jerked off with a guy I met on a nude beach and my friend came out to me as gay and I started to wonder if I might be gay.

When I was 22 I had sex with a guy for the first time and it was mind-blowing and I have never gone back to women and have identified as exclusively gay ever since.

I blame him for everything. But really I blame myself more.

lol is that robin? hes one of my biggest boy crushes. I'd come out the closet for that ass.

>>7148268
Ive realized and unrealized i "am gay" a few times...

In retrospect I feel I could have known i was off sometime in middleschool.

this is when I started being into butt stuff. With that being said I was never even kind of attracted to a dood. The thought of me even kissing a dood kind of put me off.

but my butt lust grew more and my patience with women grew shorter I had myself almost convinced I was gay..

then I tried gay stuff a few times... didnt really like it. There was a spark of sorts but it wasnt the same.

had hints all throughout my childhood. Thought boys were cute and ever so often got really feminine. My brother would call me gay sometimes and for some reason it really got to me. Started thinking about it around age 10. At first didn't care and actually thought it might be cool, something that made me unique, but then I started to realize "holy shit, this is forever."

Internalized it for a while by telling myself I was a late bloomer. Kinda accepted it around age 12 or so.

>be me, late teens bi cis girl in a strict catholic area
>masturbate thinking about boys because being lgbt is frowned upon and scary
>find boys and girls equally attractive but never seem to have a real crush on anyone
>maybe it's just me recognising aesthetics and i'm unable to feel romantic or sexual attraction to anyone at all??
>aka in denial, would rather be fucking asexual than lgbt
>cute blonde girl moves to my school
>can't contain repressed bi anymore
>flirt with her and play footsies and hold hands with her under the desk and kiss a few times when tipsy
>every time i masturbate she pops into my head
>welp no more denying it i guess
>embrace my imaginary world where she sits on my face
>grow into the bislut i truly deserve to be

This desu, still took another 11 years to work it all the way out. Fuck this feeling
