I was born this way. I don't care if that's not what you want to hear, it's the way it is, as simple as that.
I'm bisexual and I've always known I was kind of attracted to bothe sexes.
When I was small (7-8 ish), there's this movie I remember watching with my friends, that typical high school musical type and in it there was a lesbian couple. It was the first time I had seen a same sexe couple and when I was watching it, I remember thinking that it seemed just so natural to me. Then I started imagining myself being with another girl and I figured that I really liked the idea. Those fantasies were cut short however when the friends I was with at the time commented on how weird and disgust it was while we were watching the movie. We were just kids at the time and i guess it was a normal first reaction for them since they had never seen a gay couple and it was different to the love they were used to seing, but I on the other hand was totally down with it.
I had actually been about to talk to them about it and how it seemed so nice to me, but after hearing them talk about it so negatively, I decided to keep quiet.
After that I kind of rejected the idea of being attracted to the other sex and moved on, I was a kid anyways so it didn't really change much.
When I finally got to high school however is when I really started to question my sexuality.
When I say question here, I mean that I didn't know myself well enough yet to know that I was bi. I did not gradually turn bi or decide one day 'hey, what if I tried being with girls? who knows, might be fun!'
No. I've always been bi and people who are gay were born that way, it just takes time for some of us to figure it out for ourselves. You seem to think otherwise, but come on, who are you to know?
My high school is an all girls school, so it was pretty easy for me to figure out that there were girls out there I was romantically interested in. I've had a short term girlfriend before who was les and had already done her coming out, but I've never done mine. Never told my friends, never told my family, she's the only one in my surroundings who has ever known.
I stumbled on TWS randomly, but the reason I stayed was because there's a part of the community I've slowly started to love. It's the only place where I've talked about my sexuality with others, gay or not, and have in general received a lot of support.
I see it as my way to kind of test the waters before I come out irl, so I must admit that seing people talk like you do is fucking discouraging.
I didn't fucking choose to be bisexual, but if I meet a girl who I love and am happy with, then I believe it'll have been worth it, wether the people around me will have accepted it or not.
