how and when did you find out your sexuality? (lemmy.ml)

Here's my story.

Sometime in April a guy who was a friend of a friend started touching me, yes I know I should have not let this happen but I found him kinda hot so I let him touch me. Started questioning when I got home. I then developed a slight crush on him but got over it after a few weeks. At this point I figured out that I might be bi. I'm currently questioning what label of bi I fall under. I might be omni or just plain old bi

I should have handled the situation differently but it caused me to learn about myself.

I was 18 when the realisation hit like a pile of bricks. I was all at once terrified and scared... and realised I knew absolutely noone else who might be gay. Then an incident at University caused me to nail the closet door shut... until eight years later I finally came out as gay.

Took until I was in my 50's before I realised I'm pansexual. I thought I was bi, but more attracted to men than women. Made me think I wasn't bi.
