    And to OP: You are so very young. Sixteen is such a confusing age. That was 10 years ago now, for me, but I remember it well. The brain doesn't reach maturity until the age of 25, so you still have another 9 years of figuring things out! In those 9 years, you'll probably experiment with lots of things, as well as find out for sure what you like and don't like.

    Much of what confuses you now will start to make more sense as the years pass. Go easy on yourself! Do what feels right in the moment (as long as you don't hurt anybody) and learn as you go.

    Thank you so much to everyone replying to this thread!😊 I honestly thought no one would. It certainly made me feel better for the moment. Deep down I know I just need to accept that these are confusing times and I have to be okay with not knowing everything. I think my flare-up has certainly subsided. I have a problem with overthinking everything, and I think that's what I'm doing now

    To add to what others have said, I am now in my 20s and I firmly believe that sexuality is a spectrum. Like if everyone allowed themselves to explore whatever situations they wanted to without fear, almost everyone would be at least partially bisexual. What you're going through is completely normal. If you like women, that is normal. If you like both, that is also normal. When you get older, you'll see how much anyone that matters accepts who you are no matter what.

    I was recently encouraged to find some good. So please allow me to express, how encouraging I have found this topic to be. It's great to see how on this aspect, humans are evolving for the better. To me this is a good sign post that marks the way for more than just hope.

    Wishing you all the best 11V11.
