Is it normal to have these thoughts?

I'm a 24 year old, popular and likeable woman. I have many friends, and some I have talked to about this. However none of them know what it suggests, though many have assured me I'm not gay.

I'm straight. I fancy men, have only slept with men, find men attractive... I don't wish to sleep with, or fancy women. Women are not sexual to me.

Why is it then that for 10 years I have obsessed, idolised and wanted to be validated by different women? Not in a sexual sense I just want them to like me. I think it might be because when I was growing up I didn't have any female role models really and got on better with boys.

It puzzles me and causes me a lot of emotional pain and confusion. No sexual thought enters my head, I don't picture them naked, I just want to be like them and for them to like me.

Can anyone help me?

    It's impossible to say for sure without knowing you, but I guess your relationship with your mother might account for some of these feelings.

    ^ possibly true. It's likely a low self esteem issue and I hate that for you! I know that us women can be harsh and...well...bitches. But any woman that acts that way is NOT worthy of being your friend. Try to work on improving you...building your confidence...and hopefully things will fall into place.

    normal. You compete for "mating" with other women and not other men.
