my BEST FRIEND OF 12+ YEARS, who is also completely against any other sexuality but straight.. she acts so gay though, even though she swears up and down she isnt. she touched my boob the other day and I felt something. sexual attractiveness? I wanted her to keep going. I wanted to tell her I think im in love with her. but i know i never can. I can't be bisexual. I can't like girls. I CAN'T. i'm scared. -CONFESSIONhelpme
Hey Love,
I hope everything has been okay with you and your friend!
I’m so sorry about your situation, it sounds really distressing and confusing.
It’s sad that people these days are still against anything other than heterosexual,especially as there’s so many sexual orientations out there. Why do you think she’s against everything? Have you spoken to her about this? It could be a good idea to sit down with her and find out why she’s only for ‘traditional’ relationships and try and open her up to other types.
From personal experience, a lot of girls are very close with each other during high school and into their twenties - Obviously I don’t know your age so I can’t be too sure - even so close that other people believe they’re a lesbian. Touching other people’s boobs doesn’t indicate that she’s gay (or acting like it - you can’t act like a sexual orientation)
I think it might be a good idea to explore your own identity. It seems like you’re afraid to be anything other than straight, and this could be because of her opinion? There is absolutely nothing wrong with identifying as bisexual, if you feel like that’s what you are then maybe try and explore that.
It seems like you’re really scared of liking your friend, but this can be normal when you’re not sure about your sexuality. Looking to people around you and figuring out if you’re attracted to them is often how people discover the type of people they like.
I hope this all made sense and was helpful in some way. Please don’t be afraid to explore and if you feel like you’re bisexual, or anything else then that’s perfectly okay! If your friend isn’t okay with that, then maybe she doesn’t deserve to be your friend.
You got this,

(Sorry I didn't see this was two parts!)
It sounds like you could be demisexual or grey-asexual, where you're only comfortable with sexual situations/attracted to somebody sexually if you're very close to the person. (Not everybody who you get close to you'll have attraction for)
As I said before, there is absolutely nothing wrong with being bisexual. Just because your family is against it doesn't mean you're not allowed.
