is it normal to question your sexuality?

By Anissa Lozano, OkaySo Intern

The short and quick answer is YES! It is totally normal to question your sexuality.

There is alot of misconceptions about sexuality, and it can be really confusing to navigate. While having doubts is normal, you are the best expert on your own sexual orientation. Whether you notice you are attracted to one gender, multiple genders or none at all you, you know yourself best and do not have to do anything else to "count" as that sexual orientation.

For some people they know their sexual orientation right away and for others is a process or journey. Some people have also described their sexual orientation as fluid over time. Questioning one's sexuality can sometimes leave folks feeling invalid or fake but the most important part of this journey is to remember there is no rules that say you have to no for certain, there is no deadline.

As some of us navigate this question, always remember to be kind and patient with yourself as you would a friend. Download the Okayso app and connect with our experts today!
