I think that both Emily and Soledad have made good points. It might be hard to know your sexual preference at this point if you are simply waiting on sexual experience. I think that a lot of people in that position have many doubts and insecurities and just plain aren't sure what they will like or not like or be good at or not, etc. And I'm not just talking about sex either. Young adults are still learning who they are - establishing their identities and their places in society, social connections, and group affiliations. At this stage, we are very sensitive about anything related to these issues, so not only can we be hurt easily by other people's comments, some people will question others' identities and preferences, etc. in such a way that it feels threatening, either unknowingly or in an effort to be more secure about themselves (or both).

You are who you are, regardless of what anyone says or what stereotypes you may remind someone of. Don't let people classify you like that, ok?

I also agree with Soledad about that you seem obsessive about what people think of you, and you describe avoiding friendships and social situations due to your fears. Whenever something is interfering with your ability to live your life as you would like to, talking to a counselor about it might be helpful to you.

I hope this is helpful, and that you can feel comfortable coming back here as much as you like. We are an accepting and friendly community here, and there is always room for another friend.
