I recently started questioning my sexuality and I don't know what I should do.

I'm an 18 year old male. I started crushing on my best friend a few weeks ago and I'm absolutely terrified to talk to him about it. I've never been so unsure about what to do in my life. Any advice?

How are you feeling about this? I remember being confused myself and it was stressful and caused a lot of anxiety for me. Hope you're alright.

 

When questioning your sexuality, it's important to know that it's perfectly okay to do this and most people do this at some point in their life. Figuring out your sexual identity can often take time, and it's important to be patient with this. Here are some help guides you may find useful:

In regard to talking to your crush, although it's scary, it will only stress you out and cause anxiety if you don't speak to him. You could start approach the convo by saying things like 'I don't want this to hurt our friendship but I really need to be honest with you'. It is important to reaffirm that you still want to continue as friends if nothing happens. How do you think he'll respond to it?

 

Hang in there! -Monsoon
