Anxiety

Hi. So I am heterosexual I’ve only ever been attracted to the opposite sex. However I suffer anxiety whenever gay/lesbian etc is ever brought up in to conversation why is this? It really makes me doubt myself as in what if I am gay etc but deep down I know I only wanna be with the opposite sex. But I’ll get random thoughts of like if someone was to say be you,or be yourself I go into absolute panic like what if I’m not being true to myself, what if this means something, what if I am gay

Sexuality is a spectrum, you probably aren't one or the other. You can't hide from your feelings, so as soon as you accept them as a normal thing everyone experiences, you should be fine.
