Confessing my sexuality ..............looking for support

Bisexuality

I'm 19 years old. I recently came out to two of my closest friends about my sexuality. I told them that I am bisexual and have been attracted to both sexes for years. I just never came out about it prior to this because I was raised in a very religious family. I was taught that right was right and wrong was wrong. In my upbringing, my parents taught me that being anything except for heterosexual was immoral. I never believed it to be my reality because I wanted to be accepted; it made things simple; further, I didn't know what God would think of me. I even held a nearly four year relationship with my most recent ex - a male. I am now at a point where I can no longer hide my feelings. Infact, My attraction for women has superceded my attraction toward men. I'm just looking for support...... Advice........pointers.

Thanks!

I am 39 and am experiencing the same thing. I difinetely prefer woman to men now and am trying to sort my life so I can pursue this and find a happiness for me (finally). I don't have a lot to offer as I am at the beginning for this process but am happy to lend a listening ear. I have told all my good friends and they are happy for me and that helps immensley, as far as God and I we will deal with this when the time comes, my family I think will someday be accepting and if not, it's my life and time to put me first- I even have 2 teenage sons (19 and 15) and I believe if I were to come out to them, they would be happy for me also, I raised to open minded, kind hearted kids. I wish you the best!

Take all that you've been given and live life for all it's worth- Marie

You'll find someone. Now is a good time for you to focus on retsoring so that you can be efficient for who ever else comes into your life. You seem like a person with a beautiful spirit who has been deeply hurt. Keep in mind that you can't be a good girlfriend to someone else if you havent handle your individual distresses. Keep me updated.
