The Love Doctor

  Dear Love Doctor

I am a young man who is struggling with his attraction to other males. I am feeling confused and alone, and I don't know who to turn to for support.

Signed Struggling

Dear Struggling,

First and foremost, I want to reassure you that you are not alone. Many people experience confusion and uncertainty about their sexual orientation at some point in their lives, and it is completely normal to question and explore one's feelings.

It is important for you to remember that you are not defined by your sexual orientation. You are a unique and valuable individual with many talents, strengths, and qualities that make you who are.

I would encourage you to reach out to a trusted friend or family member who is accepting and supportive, or to seek out a professional counselor or therapist who can help you navigate your feelings and provide guidance and support.

It is also important for you to remember that you are deserving of love and respect, regardless of your sexual orientation. You should surround yourself with people who value and accept you for who you are, and who will support you as you continue to explore and understand your feelings.

Finally, I want to emphasize that there is no right or wrong way to feel or identify. Everyone's journey is unique, and it is important for you to trust your instincts and follow your heart as you continue to navigate your feelings and identity.

I wish you all the best as you continues on this journey of self-discovery and acceptance.
