How do you determine your sexual orientation? Is it normal to sometimes wonder about same-sex attraction?

I occasionally ponder if I have a crush on the same sex, but sometimes I feel like the thought is so common that it's nothing special.

Hey, buddy! I can feel your confusion right now, and I'm sending you a warm hug first.

How old are you?

Perhaps you are in the youthful stage of 14 to 18 years old.

This is because at this age, it is common to develop some curiosity or favoritism towards the same sex.

How do you determine your sexual orientation? Is it normal to sometimes wonder about same-sex attraction?

There is a concept in psychology called "same-sex attachment".

Meaning, you may look up to the "big brother" type of person who seems to be tall and protective of you.

And then you might accidentally mistake that admiration for liking the other person yourself.

So if you're not yet an adult, it's probably a little too early to conclude that you're gay.

If the confusion persists, it is recommended that you talk to a professional counselor, especially one who specializes in sexual orientation issues.

I really hope you find an answer to this worry soon.

We all care about you here. I wish you all the best!
