Hi there, I’m a 19 year old girl and I am feeling confused about my sexuality. I have always felt confused, ever since I was about 15. Both my sister and I feel that our mother thinks that we are lesbian (not with each other) and I think this is a contributing factor to how I feel because I always want to please my parents and when I think my Mum thinks that I am gay I feel like i should act accordingly. We have confronted her about this and she said that she has never thought that (but I still get those vibes from her). I have always liked boys but recently have felt a lean towards girls. I have only kissed a girl once and I did it at a club because I thought it would turn on guys. I get embarrassed in situations about ‘gays’ but only with people who are older than me, not around my peers. Sometimes I fantasize about girls. I have had a number of sexual encounters and relationships with guys and have felt emotionally attached in almost all of those experiences. I am currently in a relationship with a guy but I am wondering if I need to explore my sexuality more or am I just over analyzing normal teenage feelings?

No one can talk you into your sexual orientation. I wouldn’t say that you’re mother was a possible reason for your feelings. Only you and time will tell if youre feelings are just curiosity, or if you are starting to identify as a lesbian.
