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.
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.
these types of conversations can definitely be triggering! social media in particular can be a really triggering place.
