I'm gay and I hate that part of me.. anyone else feel similarly?

Let me explain myself-I don't feel that I was born gay. I view my homosexuality as a manifestation of my social issues I had as a kid. I do not mean to offend anyone by saying this-it's nice to see happy gay people but I used to have crushes on exclusively girls when I was young and do not believe I should be gay. I used to tell myself I was worthless because girls didn't like me..anyway, I just hate being gay and have only come out to a select few people.

Update:

I have been going to therapy for two years and have switched doctors three times.

    I'm straight and am perfectly comfortable with my sexuality, so I can't identify with your issue. But it seems to me that it might extend to more than what you feel is your sexuality; that there are other issues that just happen to be manifesting themselves in this way. I suggest you seek out professional counseling to help you sort things out. The answers you need are probably not here on Y!A.

    Good luck.

    When I first accepted I was bisexual I thought it had something to do with not having a girlfriend for a long time and being a virgin. I realize now that the reason I didn't get girls was because I wasn't actually after them. This is an alternate explanation for why you feel you've been "rejected". Only you really know and you'll have to find the real answer in yourself. Try your best not to hate yourself for being gay, even if you later on realize you are straight, don't hate your former "gay" self. Self loathing feels terrible and the sooner you can get rid of it the better. Good luck, much love.

    You might of thought they where crushes but they most likely weren't. But also keep in mind sexuality sometimes doesn't kick until later. Sounds you like you need to build your self esteem more then anything. You were born gay and you will be alright with it some day. For now try to work on accepting yourself.

    You shouldn't be hard on yourself! If you're gay, that's awesome. If you're not, that's awesome. It's your decision who you choose to love. Be proud of that! I've recently realized that I'm asexual and panromantic, and if anything I feel more confident in myself. But if you're insecure about it, you just have to take it one step at a time. "Gay" is really just a label- you don't need to use any if it's not what you are. Trust me. Some day you will meet a person that is perfect for you- male, female, both, neither, somewhere in between. We fall in love with people because of who they are- not their gender.

    it truly is not a born or chosen component. it truly is totally almost how the mind responds to diverse stimuli. Like in my case, extremely opposite to different gays, I have always felt a deep longing to be loved via different boys. I had it from an truly youthful age or perhaps immediately, i trust like i opt to get into their fingers and be cuddled. yet i do not myself discover them beautiful yet, I do discover females beautiful. So, what am I? immediately/via/gay or what? i do not recognize, except that my mind always responds this way- it needs love from adult adult males even though it does not love adult adult males. So, on the top, it truly is only a case of a few wiring being incorrect, or perhaps not something too serious a ailment. it truly is something like why some human beings like chilly nutrients products at the same time as others salivate on seeing candies. not something previous that.

    No.. because homosexuality is such a small part of my whole being there isn't enough to hate.. if anything I have a long list before it.. I'm kind of slow.. Math isn't my cup of tea.. and quite frankly I am blind without my glasses.. >.< I hate my eyesight!

    Best tip is reevaluating your life.. and finding out you have much worst faults that are way worse..

    It sounds like you have made a decision in your life.........I agree that parts of the life as a child has alot to do with decisions later in life............... I have talked with different people on this issue and found out that girls that turn gay, are missing the female attention they didnt get growing up....boys, the male figure..........not being loved by the same sex and ....so.... desiring it in them later on in life.............it makes sense but I would think the void would still be there. counseling would be my suggestion............... another suggestion would be to turn to reading God's word, I find such peace there ( I am not gay and have never desired to be, But I have talked with people who are gay to try to understand what drove them to that change ) ................. God is the answer but that will be your decision to make when your heart is ready. he has never let me down and I sure have had some horrible situations come my way. ....you said you hate that part of you so look to another way out of your pain.

    Girls dont hate you because youre gay. Girls dont like you because youre an ugly loser. If you were gay they would WANT to **** you no matter what you looked like..

    Just embrace who you are as a person...don't force yourself to like women.
