comphet crushes

So, I really need help.
I’m a lesbian struggling with comphet.
For most of my life I thought I was straight, but was only attracted to somewhat feminine and emotionally unavailable guys and couldn’t imagine a future with them beside holding hands (an idea of marrying a man had always made me uncomfortable). And when there was a guy confessing to ME I’d always turn him down.
Also, I was always repulsed by men’s bodies and was never sexually attracted to them but was and I currently am to women. (Moreover, when I thought I was straight I was imagining dating my female bff).
At some point, I started to question If I was bi. I had crushes on two girls, they didn’t last long but right now I think they were more genuine then my crushes on men since those were mostly obsessions.
Not a long time ago I’ve read a lesbian masterdoc and the definition of the comphet and realized that I perfectly describes me and my relationship with men and that I might be a lesbian.
But there’s always a voice inside my head telling me that I’m faking everything bc i don’t find EVERY SINGLE woman attractive, have a specific type and currently not looking for a relationship.
But this is a minor problem compared to my comphet. Or maybe this isn’t a comphet and i might be bi after all.
The first time happened about 4 months ago when I realized I started having “feelings” for my male classmate who’s a typical school loud “popular” guy. I’m saying “feelings” because i don’t know how else i can describe it. I would get jealous whenever he was talking to other girls and catching myself imagining scenarios with him (not in romantic way though, just the two of us talking, I wanted his attention). Another reason why I call this “feelings” is bc whenever I was thinking of this person in a romantic way it made me wanna puke. I can’t imagine being in a relationship with a man, including him.
I just ignored whenever I was feeling like this since I was moving away anyways.
I moved to another country and my first school day was two weeks ago. But here I bumped into this problem again. I have “caught feelings” for another popular jerk. I get jealous when he talks to other girls and want his attention but the idea of thinking of him in a romantic way makes me wanna die. I would even describe this as intrusive thoughts since those thoughts randomly pop out in my head. My reaction to them is very negative and I just want for all of it to stop.
What do you guys think? Is this comphet? How can i get rid of it?

Doesn't sound to me like you're bi if the thought of intimacy with a man makes you want to puke and die. And I think you said you've only ever been interested in women. Not all people are interested in every other person of the gender they're interested in, by the way.

And as far as comphet (I had to look that up) and being lesbian or bi - why label yourself? There's no need for that - just be open to your feelings . Labels are unimportant. What's important is what you're attracted to and what you do about it.

With the two men you mentioned being jealous of, that's something for you to ponder on. You want them to notice you and talk to you, for some reason I find inexplicable, but there's nothing wrong with that, either.

I hope some of this helps.

@Mame,
Compulsory heterosexuality is more than just labels, though. It involves societal normative behavioral expectations.

@InfraBlue,
True... but we do tend to label, which I am very much against. Who cares if it was your 'Asian' neighbour, or 'skinny friend' or 'adopted' daughter? If those labels aren't germane, they're offensive to me. And sometimes when we unconsciously label something (she's a bitch vs she's being bitchy), that label sticks (Oh, I heard she was a bitch) and it's very hard to undo.

Back to the topic, though:

The OP seems to think she is or has comphet. She clearly stated she prefers women to men so where does the comphet come into it? See, I see that as her labelling herself, giving her one more thing to worry about. She's apparently struggling with it.

@Mame,
I can't speak for the OP, but it seems she is struggling with societal expectations, not merely with labels.
