I'm a bit confused, do you know for sure you're a lesbian? or are you just thinking that you're a lesbian? Those are two very different things. If you're still confused on where you leaned to, you should be upfront with the guy, and probably consult a professional first. Sorry, I think it is necessary to be extra cautious and sure here.

I agree. Just say you think you should remain friends. As for thinking you might be a lesbian…You can lose your attraction to one person and it doesn’t mean you’ve lost your attraction to the entire gender. I think this might be specific to R. Or maybe not, but it’s too soon to decide based on one person.

Look, I'm not gonna tell you everything is gonna be fine and not to worry.

But, the hardest part is often the isolation from keeping the secrets, while it might not be easy in the short term, it was never going to get better on it's own.

The first thing is to realise people's initial reactions are filled with emotion, and there will be things said, things done, that are not necessarily meant.

The next thing you should do is try and get some help, everyone already knows now, so steps will likely be taken (I don't know your country so I don't know what mandatory reporting/assistance is in place)

Best thing to do now is take advantage of this situation, talk to everyone you can and get any help you can...

Best of luck to you, its a long road ahead and there will be ups and downs along the way.

You are young and still learning the navigate the world. You didn't fuck up nor are you a fuck up. Give yourself grace love.

Don't ever feel embarrassed for having emotions and don't be afraid to seek help if you need it. As a teenager and even towards being a young adult I had a lot of suicidal thoughts from pressure/not being good enough/anxiety and I felt very alone in this world because I was also scared that people would look at me like I'm crazy.

I really had to learn to give myself grace and I still have to remind myself to this day as full grown adult . I hope that you can seek the help you need to learn how to cope with your anxiety and I hope that you can learn to always forgive yourself.

You got this and everything will be okay <3

This might be a tifu, but it’s a tomorrow I’m going to start getting better. Yes, uncomfortable talks might be coming, but this is the time to get the help you need. I cannot speak on your family, but I only hope that they will love and support you through all of this. Any good parents will not think you’re psycho, but will do everything they can to help you. I wish you the best OP and know that while life may have its lows, the highs are coming. Always remember that a bad day, or a stretch of bad days will eventually come to an end. Be kind to yourself, we’re all rooting for you.

It was probably the best thing you could have done if you are too embarrassed to talk to your parents about it…because now you can get the help you both clearly need and deserve
