Lack of anxiety

For reference, I've been in erp for about 7 months now

I’ve had a lot of panic around my sexual orientation since I was a kid, because I knew I liked girls and boys and that felt wrong (society smh). In my 20s I’ve gotten to have sexual and romantic experiences with women as well as men. I’m currently in a committed relationship with a man who I love, and I’ve embraced my bisexuality. 🫶🏼

For me personally, I started out identifying as "bi" due to these thoughts starting almost immediately before this. However, the longer I've self examined, I've realized being "romantic" or "sexual" with women feels unlike me. Not because of society or shame, but because I've always crushed on a proffered men. Given, I DO appreciate and admire women. BUT! for friendship and inspiration reasons, nothing more. Again, this is just my personal experience. I'm all for being a queer ally though! All my friends identify somewhere on this spectrum.

@Isaembracesuncertainty That totally makes sense! There’s also such thing as being romantically hetero but sexually bi. And also you definitely don’t have to act on it to be queer.

@Isaembracesuncertainty But regardless, what’s so freeing is that labeling yourself doesn’t matter (: you just feel what you feel when you feel it! And it’s all ok!

Makes sense! I hate how ocd attacks both sides of this though... that's where alot of my insecurity around this theme lies! At the end of the day, I just want to live an authentic life. I hate how culture completely assumes heterosexuality in how relationships are portrayed. Yet, I don't fully relate to those in queer spaces either. It's kinda complicated lol
