the second half of your comment is correct - that exact thing can happen talking to a shrink. forcing kids to solidify & put into words confusing fleeting feelings is exactly what got all these kids INTO this mess. instead of a young person having passing feelings they now have infinite validation online & places to discuss it to solidify what may have been a brief moment of confusion. before all this over analyzation of feelings, fleeting feelings of attraction for 1 person of the same gender was just that. then they continue through life and realize either that they ARE genuinely gay or they just were confused at that moment as their sexuality was coming into its own.
