You were the first girl ever that made me realize I am also attracted to girls. I loved you with all my heart even when I knew for sure that u don't like me back. I cared so much about you and our friendship. You were more than a crush or a friend to me. U were so special to me in a way that no one else has ever been. And yet u blew it up, u kept getting further and further away from me each day without any reason. U started to act like u were bored of me after all the months we've spent together talking every single day for hours. I thought of cutting ties with u, but I couldn't even stand the thought of you dissappearing from my life forever. U don't let me cut ties either. Seems like u just want me to be there when u need me but as a friend, u are not here for me when I need u anymore. I don't know what I should do, all your actions started to make me feel so worthless. A few months ago u were the person who made me feel the most special ever. It's like u are a completely different person now and I don't know which one is the true you..
this is me except I rarely feel attraction to women and my attraction mostly leans on men. It makes me keep thinking if im faking it or not, then I see the very few women I simp on and im like 'no im definetly attracted to them' anyw so bisexuality is confusing if the attraction percentages for genders have large difference between each other T-T
sorry if this is weird but I’ve been so so down about being bi recently. I’ve known I’m not straight since I was 11 and assumed I was a lesbian until I was 18 but it’s been two years now and I still don’t feel okay about it. I guess I just desperately wish I never had of realised and that I could still think I’m a lesbian because I’m so female leaning it makes being bi really lonely because I very rarely feel attraction to men and whenever I tell anyone that they tell me I must be a lesbian even though I know that I do still have some level of attraction to them. it feels like I found a community that I felt comfortable and seen in and then I lost it and now I have no where
alright, sorry this took me so long to get to. it's finals week on campus, so it's just been difficult to sit down and write something important like this.
to start with, this wasn't weird at all -- a lot of people go through that. i myself struggle with feeling alienated from various communities for various reasons myself. being butch, nonbinary/trans, and bi makes a lot of spaces feel sort of strange, because i'm not often really what people expect or assume me to be. i haven't experienced exactly what you're going through (part of that is definitely because i'm not out as bi in broad irl circles, so i don't get those kinds of comments), but i know that feelings like this can be extremely painful. one of my mutuals, noor @tittyfixation, told me they'd be open to talking to you about it if you'd like to chat with someone who's had that same experience. it can be really helpful to talk to people who struggle with the same things you do sometimes, sort of mutually healing.
it's helped me personally in the past to feel a little less lonely to read lgbt/bi books, blogs, poetry, and magazines. while it's not a perfect replacement for physical and immediate community connections, being able to read back and see that other people have felt the way you do, navigated gender and sexuality the way you do, and would implicitly understand you, can be healing. here's a list of some you can take a look at if that sounds appealing:
- anything that movies (pdfs and transcripts at @anythingthatmovesarchive)
- bi any other name 25th anniversary edition (have not read myself, but was recommended)
right now i'm reading and have not finished:
- getting bi (voices of bisexuals around the world), edited by robyn ochs and sarah e. rowley, 2005 edition
- go the way your blood beats (on truth, bisexuality and desire), michael amherst
i have my problems with both of these texts for different reasons, and i'm still chewing through them, but i still think it's really cool to read other bisexuals' thoughts on sexuality, gender, and all kinds of other things. i think it helps to remind yourself that your situation and experience is not altogether one in a million, and that the vast majority of bisexuals struggle with the limitations people place on bisexuality as often as you do, even if they're not for the same reasons or in the same ways. it hurts to be lonely. it's good to remind yourself that you are very rarely actually alone.
Bisexual muslim culture is trying to stay away from the same sex in case you develop a crush on them and focus solely on the opposite sex because you don't want to be disowned
Hi this is just a reminder that if you feel like you’re not completely straight, but you just call yourself straight cause you mostly are (or cause you’ve never dated anyone other than the “opposite” gender, or cause you’re not involved in the queer community) you are allowed to call yourself bisexual. Bisexual doesn’t mean half and half. You can have a gender preference and still be bi. You can be only a little bit not-straight and still be bi. Of course, if you’re not comfortable with that and want to just keep identifying as straight that’s totally fine, but you don’t have to, and if you decide to identify as bi that is yours to claim and you’re not appropriating the identity.
From the happiness to the pained expression of her character in Transit Girls, it was so well executed and I didn’t think I would end up crying for almost a good whole part of episode 6-8.
I would just like to take this moment to appreciate her beauty. Sakuma Yui has become yet another one of my girl crushes. ♥
Okay I have to ask smth. All my life I thought I'm straight, but recently I had a huge crush on a girl friend who I met online and realized I am into some girls but only a certain type of girls, like if they don't fit into that type, I can never get attracted to them. This is not the same for men tho, even if a guy is not exactly my type I can still be attracted to them.
Anyways so my question is: Am I bisexual? Can I call myself bi even if I'm only interested in like super specific type of girls? Please tell me what u think, this is driving me crazy
