Like creating my self in my own image, and not according to what I was told I should be! That's cos its effn hard -but it's effn very worth it too. And no matter whether you are straight or gay, you still have the same ultimate option: Do you follow society's dictates as to who you are?
'I slowly realised I was bisexual' Pippa's story
Or do you make yourself according to your own ideas about who you are? I came out over 14 years ago and reading your post brought back so many memories for me. The most important thing I think I can tell you right now is this: I also wanted a life with children and I felt like if I could just be interested in men all my problems would go away and my life would just be so much easier. I slept with a lot of men even though I had no feelings for them because I just kept hoping that something inside me would click and I would feel what I was supposed to, but I never did.
I just felt even more upset and disgusted with myself. While I know it hurts right now, one day you will find someone who loves you back and it will be the most wonderful feeling in the world. I struggled with it too, though as a lesbian I obviously had things a bit easier than you. Still, if having a family is something you really want in life then you still have many ways of having that happen.
Whether it be donating to a lesbian couple who wish to co-parent with you, surrogacy, adoption, foster care etc you have options. Yes your path to parenthood will be harder than most, but if you set your mind to it you will achieve it. Hang in there, you have a wonderful life and future awaiting you. What caring and beautiful responses! My story reflects some of your own especially loving best friend which indeed is true for most as you say. Your gifts of words are a pleasure to read, and serves as a reminder of how much support is abound on our forum. It'd be wonderful if you both could drop in now and then to 'give' of your sensitivity and grace if that's ok.
I for one would be extremely grateful knowing there's people like you to turn to. And help if need be.

Hi I about 6 months ago I came out for the first time to a good friend. It's went really well and he has supported me through this and help me tell others. But some days I feel like I want back in the closet. It's not because people take it badly it's just the thought of never being "normal" and having a family and kids is killing me on the inside. When my friends talk about girls I feel so empty and sad that I will never be able to feel what they are, and that I can't let my emotions out to them without a awkward stigma in the room.
5 Dating Tips for Straight Girls From a Gay Guy
I've had a crush on my best friend for years now and this is probably one of the hardest things ive had to deal with. He knows I do because I told him when I was drunk. He doesn't seem to mind and thinks it's kind of funny but it just kills me inside know that I can never have a relationship with him. Most days I just sit there wishing I was normal and it's really effecting my grades, I barley do any work in class and I have no direction in life. I don't know what to do i could talk to someone but im horrible with talking about that stuff face to face I can never get the words out. Gruffudd Champion Alumni.

I'm a Straight Girl Who Fell in Love With a Woman - Thrillist
I still have crushes on straight friends and tell them when I'm drunk. Hi sam. I had this same problem too and still feel the same sometimes. I hid my sexuality for years and tried to change it because in my family and town it was right up there with one of the worst things you could do. But I got to a point where i couldn't fight it any more and come to the realisation that I couldn't change it and that if i was to be happy in life i had to accept it and move on.
It's a hard thing to do but telling some people is a great start.

I think being with another guy is just more simple some times. It's like falling in love with your best mate to be honest: Also the drama with liking your friends a bit too much. It happens man. It's a problem for me because i go for straighter guys and the manly ones are my fave aha. So yes there has been times when you lust over a mate but move on. On the flip side, gays have a unique relationship with our straight male buddies because we are not in competition with them for you. As a result, straight guys often gab with us about the stuff girls do that cost them a call back.
