Help! I've been wondering.... How am I supposed to figure out my sexuality? I feel like a lot of you Sylestians would know, right? I mean.... I know a lot of you are LGBTQ+... So help me out?

Id say in my time i just waited until it was fully clear that i had leaned into being pans. Or it could be your choice of crushes/lovers

Well it is different for each person. I myself had a fluctuating sexuality for quite a while. What helped with me is just to research different sexualitys. When I learned about polysexual, I just new that, that was me.

Mainly my advice is to do your research and just know that doesn't matter what other people think and as long as you are happy, nothing else matters. Hope this helped!

Honestly, I'll be real with you. Life experience.

When I was in my teens, the LGBT+ community definitely wasn't as strongly unified and socially accepted as it is today, so a lot of information on other sexualities than just straight/gay/bi didn't exist for me, especially in the heavily conservative area and family I grew up in.
Research definitely can help you figure a lot of things out and understand the wider spectrum of human sexuality but for a lot of people it's a long and really personal process.

I honestly thought I was cis/straight for years until I started getting into relationships towards the end of high school and started running headfirst into a lot of confusing feelings from all directions. I didn't know why I liked both men and women but really couldn't see myself in anything other than a romantic relationship when sex was always emphasized as this huge part of healthy ones by basically everyone I knew. And I definitely didn't understand why I felt so uncomfortable feeling sexualized in any capacity, man or woman.
I honestly thought something was wrong with me mentally and it didn't help that a lot of people around me at the time thought the same thing even when they had long suspected I wasn't straight long before I could even begin to piece things together for myself. Research definitely put a name to what I had been feeling most of my life but I wasn't able to start narrowing things down until I got more comfortable with myself and tested my own limits on what felt *right* for me in a relationship.
(Originally assumed I was aroace starting out, but I'm solidly biace now)
