Is it normal that i forget that i'm gay?

72% Normal
24 Comments

I just graduated high school, when I was younger being gay was a big part of my life, but as I got older I stopped really caring, I was never interested in women throughout school or life, but neither guys on a romantic/dating level. I put off zero gay traits, and often even I forget that i'm gay, or at least don't think about it as much as a normal person would. It's a topic that has never really been brought up in conversation, nor even in my own mind. I'm actually a very manly man, played football, soccer in school, and now I'm going off to college this fall. I would imagine most other gay guys would be worried about dorming or something with a straight guy. But not me, IIN?

    That seems totally normal I don't get why someone's sexuality would be on their mind 24/7 anyway. Being gay is just a thing you happen to be, not a defining feature.

      Maybe you're bisexual, which is not bad either, it all just depends on what you feel.

      You'd be surprised. When taught all your life that you're going to Hell and that everyone hates you, it can be quite a troubling thought indeed. But luckily, the human race is learning more about how normal homosexuality is, and this is lessening the pressure on the LGBT community. We still have a long way to go though.

        Hopefully the same will become true of pedos in 10-20 years huh.

    I think you're just asexual. ._. Why don't you try to just find someone you like to spend time with, woman, man, trans or whatever there is, instead of thinking about their sex?

      Because he's gay, not some crazy new age-y sexuality. He likes penises.

    Maybe because you don't want to be?

    I don't know.

    I heard a quote from someone that, to paraphrase, said that when "gay" is uttered, the gay man in the room doesn't think it's referring to him.

    I think even the most stereotypical gay guy doesn't really think of himself as a gay caricature, so all the more if you're an unconventional one.

    Wouldn't be normal if it were true. You're clearly not gay. Probably sickeningly depressed.

    I voted not normal, because if you forgot you were gay and don't have an interest in women, you don't have a sexual inclination.

    dude, you've basically just told me the story of my life... yeah it's totaly normal and i know a lot of people like you. you might be a bit bisexual and find your self in a fase of being less interested in guys or mabe you just aren't hanging out with many gay friends (by "hanging out" i don't realy mean dating but as friends) either whay I would not worry about it. I'm a masculine guy and I realy like the fact that people assume i'm straight, and i usualy hang out with srtaight guys, I find that serious dating is what helped the most. it got me into the "frame of mind" you could say, because one night stands mean nothing.

    Yes it's totally normal to not think about being gay all the time. Straight people don't think about being straight all the time. You're just becoming more comfortable with yourself

    Of curse it's normal. It's only one aspect of you. I don't walk around all thinking 'I'm straight, I'm straight.' Why would you walk around thinking, 'I'm gay.' Yes sexuality is important. But it does not completely define us. We are so much more than that.

    Good for you! It's good that you're not worried about your sexuality going into college. Unless you only thought you were gay in high school because you were not interested in women. But you could not be interested in anyone... Just have friends. Eventually you are bound to find someone you want to date/love/spend your life with. Whether it be a girl or boy.

    It sounds that you are scared of what other people think. I don't think you've forgotten your gay you just want to choose that you forgot so you fit in. May I try to suggest trying some pussy. You might like it. I don't mean to sound anti- gay but maybe that would be the solutions to your problems.

      There are so many things wrong with that, how would sleeping with a woman solve anything? Your phrase, "trying some pussy" is objectification of women and promotes using someone for sex simply so he can "fit in". What about her feelings? And why should he care about the opinions of homophobes in the first place?

      In reference to the original question I think you're completely normal, in fact if your sexuality was constantly racing through your mind it would be weird.
