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!
Iām so sorry about your situation, it sounds really distressing and confusing.
Itās sad that people these days are still against anything other than heterosexual,especially as thereās so many sexual orientations out there. Why do you think sheās against everything? Have you spoken to her about this? It could be a good idea to sit down with her and find out why sheās only for ātraditionalā 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 donāt know your age so I canāt be too sure - even so close that other people believe theyāre a lesbian. Touching other peopleās boobs doesnāt indicate that sheās gay (or acting like it - you canāt act like a sexual orientation)
I think it might be a good idea to explore your own identity. It seems like youāre 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 thatās what you are then maybe try and explore that.
It seems like youāre really scared of liking your friend, but this can be normal when youāre not sure about your sexuality. Looking to people around you and figuring out if youāre 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 donāt be afraid to explore and if you feel like youāre bisexual, or anything else then thatās perfectly okay! If your friend isnāt okay with that, then maybe she doesnāt 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.
