I'm confused

[rhythmic_Nightmare]

I'm so confused about everything
Like i told my mom about be being not bi curious but truly bisexual and she was shocked and said if i wasn't sure then i shouldn't tell anyone, but I have a crush on one of my friends(girl) but around cute guys i flirt a bit. But i feel as though my family won't accept me like my friends did ;^; how should i go on like this?
ANd this also adds to me being a bit depressed recently and I feel so emotional
Any help?

Hmmm. This is a toughy.

Honestly, don't worry about labeling WHAT you are until you're sure WHO you are. Make sense?

What I mean is, don't say you're bisexual if you're not sure. Sexuality is majorly complicated and even though you flirt with one sex it doesn't mean you're necessarily romantically or sexually attracted to them. As well, having a crush on someone of the same gender doesn't necessarily make you a lesbian or what have you.

Really, what you need to do is take it slow. Go about on your own and figure things out. Gauge yourself and really analyze your sexuality and then label yourself and stand strong about it.

Your family will always take it much harder than your friends. Parents don't necessarily know how to react to their child coming out. They want to be supportive and loving but it's often just as confusing for them as it may be for you.

Just roll with the punches and go about things at whatever pace you feel is right. Don't rush into it, don't do anything to appease anyone else, do it your way on your terms that way you can first be affirmed in who you are and what you are without others imposing their judgments or opinions.

Good luck!

Agreed ^ Also if you do find your sexuality and it is something your family isn't supportive of at first. Make sure you let them know you are proud of who you are and that you love and respect them. I don't know how your family is. but I find that when you tell lets say your mother you like girls and you are female then the mother will tend to react a little more hurt then if you told your father. it is as my little sister says who is straight. I get along with gay men and straight women better because I can say Hey I like the same things you do. It is just a matter of getting used to things. If you have ever received a nick name you know how you don't quite get that the person is talking to you when they say it at first. Things like that and like this problem with Sexuality really just need time.
