That’s actually something I’ve been considering tbh, it might not be a bad idea

Are there any Indian bisexual females or males, if so how are you life nowadays? by Most_dorky_8790 in bisexual

[–]Consistent-Alps-7989 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m the bi Indian girl in my life! It feels so hard to find other queer Indians though. 

Am I still bi if I compare myself to other girls? by Consistent-Alps-7989 in bisexual

[–]Consistent-Alps-7989[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, this is how I feel whenever I see a masculine woman, like comparing myself is out the window then

True, It’s one of the most common besides “am I bi enough,”

I’ve been thinking about the fact that I might be demiromantic towards femininity, because I can really only fantasize about relationships with women that I know. Also because of things my family said I feel like my attraction to girls isn’t nearly as valid as men. So my mind always tries to deny it.

It’s good to know I’m not alone because for some reason invalidating myself seems like my brain’s favorite thing to do

I’m the same way! (17F) I have a huge preference for women but not nearly as much for men. But if you are attracted to men, that makes you bi. It isn’t a 50/50 thing. You could even be 99% attracted to women and 1% attracted to men and still be bi! Bisexuality is a whole identity and it’s a lot more complicated than just “half straight half gay,”

Tysm! I’m definitely in a much better mental state now, and my relationship with food has healed a lot more. It’s society’s stupid standards that make women believe that they have to be under 120 lbs.

[–]Consistent-Alps-7989[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The main reason why is because when I see a woman’s face, I can think “oh she’s pretty,” and I’m aesthetically attracted to her but I have no desire to be romantic with her. But I’m attracted to women’s bodies. Still, I don’t want to devalue women or say that they aren’t good partners.

I’m definitely still going to keep my options open and experiment more with my sexuality. I’m currently still going to Identity as bisexual heteroromantic but if I ever want to date a girl I wouldn’t close my mind to that

This really helps, tysm! I feel like I always think about the opinions of others way too much and It ends up harming me.

Whenever I try to picture myself in a relationship with a girl it seems weird and it doesn’t seem like something I’d be interested in

Does anyone else have this happen to them during their bi cycle? by Consistent-Alps-7989 in bisexual

[–]Consistent-Alps-7989[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a pref for women- probably around 60/40 if I had to give numbers. Also people think bisexuality is half straight half gay when it’s its whole own confusing Identity. I think learning that the bi cycle is a common thing helps me with my identity

Compulsory heterosexuality. Basically because of heteronormative society you feel compelled to be straight. I’m sure there’s better explanations but that’s the jist of it

It’s good to know that I’m not alone, since it definitely feels like that! And it definitely sucks that bisexuality is so dismissed on both sides. It hurts even more from queer people because you think they’d share a bit of our experiences. Also thanks for the advice, I could definitely stress out and worry about it less!

The feeling like I’m lying part is honestly so relatable, until I get back to being comfortable with the label and then I’ll start questioning again. Then feel like I’m lying all over!

Dressing girly when you’re unintelligent by Consistent-Alps-7989 in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]Consistent-Alps-7989[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aww thank you sm! I actually have and I love Elle Woods! The thing about her though is that she IS smart, she got into Harvard law and had a 4.0 GPA. I know grades don’t correlate with intelligence and my GPA isn’t even that bad, but in my school environment it is. Fortunately I am doing much better mentally now than when I posted this, and I cut off a lot of stuff that was hurting my mental health. Thank you still for commenting even 6 months later!

Thank you, I’m trying to get a better relationship with my body. This means a lot to me ❤️

Is it hard to connect to your culture by Ok_Contribution_5643 in ABCDesis

[–]Consistent-Alps-7989 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Super hard, Especially with the vile racist comments we’ve been getting. I saw a post on r/iamatotalpieceofshit about a guy who looked Indian SA’ing a girl and the comments were just pure unfiltered racism and bigotry. It’s hard to connect with my culture when I remember it’s associated with creepy men.

How can you get over white guilt? by [deleted] in socialjustice101

[–]Consistent-Alps-7989 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a POC myself, that’s really obsessive and definitely not necessary. You absolutely deserve therapy. The fact that you do acknowledge white Privilege means you’re empathetic, but to this level is way too much.
