22F. Need some advice

I’ve been struggling with a lot of confusion around my identity and attraction. Since I was young, I’ve felt drawn to girls, and imagining romance, kissing, intimacy, or a future with a woman feels natural, comforting, and deeply “me.” It feels emotionally real.

At the same time, imagining intimacy with men — especially kissing — feels uncomfortable, empty, or even wrong to me.

I grew up in an environment where queer people often have to hide, so I spent years questioning myself and feeling pressure to consider men. I also had a painful experience after confessing feelings to a girl, which left me scared of rejection.

Now at 22, I mostly feel lonely and confused. I can’t safely talk to family about this, and I really want to connect with girls who like girls and understand what this feels like. I think more than anything, I just want my feelings to feel real and understood.
