I have some feelings of attraction to other guys.... Don't be hard on yourself. It can be helpful to understand these feelings and what might be behind them. What are they really all about? They may mean something other than "you're gay". Ask yourself, "What kind of guys am I attracted to? What am I really looking for?" That may at first seem like a strange question to be asking, but it can be a very helpful one. Are you attracted to other guys because you want to be popular like them? Perhaps they are more muscular than you, or you think better-looking than you. Perhaps your attraction to them is really a desire to hang-out with somebody; maybe you're just looking for a few friends. Maybe you're lonely, or you feel unaccepted. Perhaps you think you just don't measure up to the other guys. You may find it helpful to talk with someone who can help you with these questions. Are you gay? If you are a younger teen, that's something you don't need to decide yet. This is a time when some uncertainty about sexual feelings is very common. If you are an older teen and you've experienced feelings of sexual attraction to other guys for a long time, you may find the next question helpful. Whatever stage you're at, it's important to learn to like who you are -- you are valuable and special. You as a person are much more than your sexual feelings. Find friends who will respect you, for the guy you are. |
