I assumed I was straight until I was 24, when I realized I was bi. Now I am almost 30 years old. I have noticed that since I have come to terms with my sexual orientation, my crushes have more emotional stability now than they did when I thought I was straight. Can anyone else in the LGBTQ+ community relate to this experience? Or is this just a normal part of getting older that has nothing to do with sexual orientation?

Things become a bit desensitized over time I have noticed.
ReplyMaybe so. Crushes feel wild when you're younger because the feeling is so new and you don't have the experience to handle it. I can attest to that. So when those feelings arise when you're older, you have more experience to put them in perspective. "Ah, yes. I've felt this way before."
This really is not unique to the LGBTQ+ community. I'm seeing now that coming to terms with my sexual orientation coincided with me maturing and learning how to regulate my emotions better. In fact, I would say one made the other easier.
ReplyI have experienced this on so many different levels. I thought I was attracted to men, but after realizing that unlucky tries to date them, I just don't like them, but rather be friends with them would only be the solution. I am also bisexual but I love women more, and within the bisexuality, I am attracted to both women and gender neutral/fluid people more :).
