I feel like I am forcing myself to be straight???

I identify as a lesbian, and I am pretty confident in my sexuality remind you that I am a type of person who has to know everything if there's a question in my head I have to know the answer and I know we shouldn't put lable on ourself and let ourselfs explore things but what is happening to me is, I know I like girls and I don't like men in that way but for sometime ever since people have been telling me that it's okay to explore or it's just a phase, or it's fine it happens, I have this voice in my head mostly all the time looking at every single men older, , teenager, adult doesn't matter and I look at every single of them and ask myself do I like them and the answer is always no but I can't stop doing that because I can't answer myself how do I like women but not men because liking men should be normal and that's how everybody is, is there something wrong with me am I going to end up liking men because I'm forcing myself so much, what if I end up hating women with my overthinking but I love womens, as if I am afraid to like men or trying to stop myself from liking men but in fact I'm not but in my head I am, but with women it's easy I don't have to put effort to like them it comes naturally and during my teenage years( I'm still 19 btw), I've only had girlfriends never a boyfriend and yes I've kissed boys when I was like Very young but ever since I got self aware I knew I only feel attracted to women but after watching other girls so in love with boys, I don't understand how did I end up being a lesbian like how is it possible, is it gens, is it being too sporty or too much workout, I don't know I'm very confused it is practically killing my brain please help me, I'm sorry if I wasn't able to explain what I'm trying to say properly but I tried my best with how much I've figured out.... No offense to men out there I'm just very stressed at this point by all this mess in my head!!!! And I don't have any energy to date or be in a relationship with a men right now if you guys are you to say you should try being with a boy then see, even though I won't even think once if a girl ask me out though... Sorry

because liking men should be normal

There really is no such thing as 'normal'. Never has been. Everyone is totally different. Different likes, different sexuality, different self-identities and so forth.

Just because you gaze at men (now), doesn't mean your preferences have changed. It could simply be biology talking... (think attraction for reproduction purposes. Something we are all 'preprogrammed' for). But again, this 'gazing' does not mean your sexual preferences have or will change at all.

@Threepio If there is no norm as a basis of comparison, how could doctors diagnose anything, how could the practice of medicine even exist?
