I don't really have any desire for sex and I'm destructively self-conscious of what people might think, so I don't even know if I should tell them I am attracted to men.

Tell a close friend who isn't a relative and also that you trust and go from there.

Do you really not want sex, or have you just closed your mind to the idea because your fear of coming out/opening yourself up?

Just go to a gay bar in the next town over where nobody knows you.

Seriously, don't worry about the sex and just go and find somebody you want to spend time with. If your personalities are compatible the sex will happen unless you actively resist it.

I'd confide in at least one person, someone you really trust. My bff came out to me and like a year later came out entirely. Seems like having that support really helped his esteem.

You already got so much shit to deal with, your sexuality is meant to be a pleasure. Coming to peace with that will lead to an entirely new and exciting world

I mean, I don't feel like I've ever really had a real urge tbh, but I'm not big on touching at all, so who knows what is really affecting what. I just know that I've always seen some guys and felt more than my typical anxiety; a bit of heart fluttering something more.

That sounds so cheesy and clinical.

My whole life has been a long buildup of courage to do things I should have addressed years earlier and this has been weighing on me now. I'm 30 years into my life and have never had any sort of romantic relationship. I need to at least test my limits.

This.

You don't need to be "out" to enjoy your life but you shouldn't be living a secret life either.

Yeah I'm not really stressing over that part. It's that whole companionship thing that's been pressing on me.
