am I lesbian or omnisexual??

Unread post by kidfromohio »

Am I omnisexual or lesbian? trying to figure myself out. I haven’t seen any other posts exactly like this, so here we go.

I was raised in a conservative household, and had strong beliefs about what was “right,” and “wrong” when it came to sexuality.

When I was eleven, I would come across girls on tiktok, thinking that they were really pretty, or that I wanted to be like them/be their friend, and I would stalk their pages.

When I turned twelve, I soon came to the realization that I actually liked women, and identified as bisexual. (Without my family’s knowledge of course.) A few months later, I realized that I was also attracted to gender fluid people, changing my label from bi to Omni.

I even had a couple long distance girlfriends at the time. (I wasn’t dating them both at once.) but through all of that, I still had a lot of internalized homophobia.

not anymore though.

Now, almost three years later, I think I might be a lesbian?

I’ve heard that it’s common for lesbians to pipeline from bi, to omni/pan, and then finally lesbian.

I’m attracted to men physically and sexually, but definitely not romantically.

I would never pursue a relationship with one, and I’d hate if a guy tried to pursue me romantically. I even feel uncomfortable or slightly upset when I can tell that a guy finds me attractive or flirts with me.

I couldn’t picture myself with a boyfriend, and definitely not a husband.

I could 100% see myself with a girlfriend, and I would love to spend the rest of my life married to a girl.

all of the things I said I didn’t like about guys, I love about girls.

Some girls wear clothes to get male validation, but I do it for girls.

I’ve also had a reaaalllyyyyy big crush on a girl for about a year now.

that was really long, I tried to break It up so it would be easier to read.

Please let me know what you think.

Hi there, and welcome to the boards!

You know which of these terms -- if either of them do at all -- are right for you really isn't something someone else can tell you, but something for you to decide. If you want a shorthand term for your sexual identity when it comes to the gender of people you feel attracted to, and/or want to be involved with in that way, which of these terms feels best to you?
