Ashamed of my sexuality (Help!)

Guest_22489694

Hello!

From a young age, I've known I was attracted to the same gender. Still, I suppressed those feelings and conformed to dating/ interacting sexually with the opposite gender and convincing myself I liked them to feel a sense of "normal" as I've always felt like an outcast and never been sure of who I am. Recently my feelings for girls have intensified and the shame feels suffocating, even though I have no idea where all that shame has come from because I have same-sex couples all around me. Not many people know about my true sexuality so I can't discuss my struggles with anyone who can provide me with proper help or support to reassure me that what I'm going through is okay. Can someone please offer me some guidance or advice on my next steps to accept myself?
