In this chapter I'll explain how to figure out what your sexuality is.

What happens a lot is that people see the same gender and think: "I'd never see myself in a romantic relationship with the same gender.", but when they start talking to the same gender they think differently.

This is called denial, people don't like change, and mostly everyone was brought up as straight, so when their mind suggests that they're not heterosexual, they instantly deny it.

If you'd like, you can follow these steps to determine your sexuality:

1. First of all, you have to remember that whatever you become, you have to accept yourself before others can accept you. This is a really important step. If you can't accept yourself, how can others accept you?

2. Ask yourself these questions:
•If a girl asked me out, would I say yes?
•If a guy asked me out, would I say yes?
•I fall in love with the personality, not the gender.
If you answered ONE of the first two 'yes', then you're probably straight/gay/lesbian, (depending on your gender). If you answered yes to the two first ones, you're probably bisexual. If you said yes to the last one, you're probably pansexual.

Now ask yourself these:
•Do I find girls attractive?
•Do I find guys attractive?
•It doesn't matter what they look like.
Once again, if you answered one of the first two 'yes', then you're probably straight/lesbian/gay, (once again depending on your gender). If you said yes to the last one, you're probably pansexual, and if you said yes to the first two, then you're most likely bisexual.

3. If you're a girl, then start sharing more affection with other girls, if you feel "butterflies", you're probably lesbian/bisexual/pansexual /// If you're a guy, then start sharing more affection with other guys. If you feel "butterflies", you're gay/bisexual/pansexual. Go the same gender and hug them more, and if you see the same gender with a watch or something, ask them if you can see what time it is and hold their hand to see the watch, or anything like that. If you feel a tingly feeling in your stomach, you're probably gay/bisexual/pansexual.

4. If you're a sexuality other than straight, and you're scared, don't worry! You've found out who you really are, that's an achievement! :) Remember, you have a whole community behind your back.

5. If you need any help with coming out then just PM me. :) If your parents are strongly religious, or homophobic, or you're just scared of telling them in general, just PM me and I'll help you as much as I can.

Stay strong loves. You deserve to be accepted, don't let anybody tell you otherwise. :)
