What is our generation’s OBSESSION with sexuality??? I understand and absolutely LOVE the progression, but at this point it’s becoming toxic……and especially hard for people who are OCD. All I see on social media is posts regarding gender or orientation. Which is cool and all, but some of the wording on these posts persuade/ force people in a box of conformity.

I had friends that are literally straight, but felt the need to identify as Bi simply because they find women (only) sexually attractive. Which is totally harmful and misleading

Like girl friends who are straight but now identify as bi?

I feel like I’m in that exact spot and it’s so confusing you’re so right

@clamb Yes haha. But keep in mind they don’t have OCD. Knowing them, they did it just to be “different” when in reality they’ve never even tried to pursue a woman

@clamb They didn’t harp on the idea like people like us, and get anxiety from it. This was a “party trick” for them for male attention… so don’t take their experience as “evidence” for yours! I’m sure your situation is 100% different

@Smoothie Can they take my place 💀 I don’t even want to feel like/be I’m bisexual, I identify as straight and these feelings and thoughts are so overwhelming

Seems like the new fad.

toxic is the right word.

Dunno but it always feels hopeless to know that no matter the place I go I can’t escape these representations, before I never cared or even outwardly supported it, mostly I didn’t pay attention unless brought directly to my attention. Part of my fears are directly grabbed from those moments when I unwillingly saw something of the sorts, but at the time I didn’t care, like Netflix shows or YouTube videos including gay or bi people I saw years ago are suddenly signs that I’m gay or bi.
