Some people don't know their true sexuality until they are well into their life so don't go putting a time limit on it. (and it can also change, its not something coded into DNA or anything)
Being open to the idea of potentially being homosexual could help you explore yourself and work things out. Being open to the idea doesn't mean you will then be, it just means you'll allow yourself to think in that light, and allow yourself to think it may be a possibility, but like everything it may not be.
Whichever the answer is, it doesn't matter. You could even be asexual, it happens, and it's just you. It's not something to stress over, or be upset by, as you are what you are - nothing can change that - so just let it be and enjoy what you have.
The sooner you forget the things you don't have and focus on the things you do have, the happier you'll be in the long term. (My favourite quote for when I start to spiral.)
Maybe you should try watching porn/exploring yourself. Sex doesn't have to be a hookup, and even when it is it doesn't have to be bad. Porn also doesn't have to be disrespectful, maybe try 'female friendly' porn? They tend to be 'softer', you may enjoy it as it generally focusses on her pleasure rather than his, which judging by your compassion could be something for you?
Is it normal to have no idea what your orienation is at age 22?
