I have always felt like I was a lesbian. I mean I have dated girls my whole life except for two boys that I was with when I was in middle school.

I was talking to a shrink and she told me that I am not a lesbian since I was with a guy.
I was 14, stupid and it happened maybe twice.
Both times I puked and felt gross.

I cant even stand the thought of being with a guy..

What are you opinion on this one?

Your shrink can't define you, only you know what your sexuality is, but your shrink does sound like an idiot.

Ask your shrink what it means when you pay him to tell you something that is completely wrong.

Find a new shrink, the one you have doesn't know what she's talking about. When you do find one, make a last appointment to tell her why she's fired.
Incompetency is not acceptable at her level.  She needs to go back to school and upgrade.

aren't you in love with a boy?

She probably thinks you want the easy, sweet answer that you aren't completely different. I'd just go with your heart. Maybe get a new therapist, and I suggest one who is not a Christian specialist because they'll tell you you need to be with guys only.

It seems to me your'e paying someone to give you an opinion you know to be false...Not saying that therapy cant be helpful, it just seems that sexuality is mostly a fairly overt feature given that the results and indications of sexuality are  very clear to the individual.

You're probably a lesbian.

Go with what feels right. Plenty of people "try it out" with the opposite sex (or the same sex). Sexuality is a spectrum. You don't have to be 100% straight OR 100% gay. You may be attracted to only certain kinds of guys, or certain kinds of girls.

You need a new shrink apparently.
