I know for some people they never "discovered" and always knew but for those who didn't know until later....
What's your story?
I'll start!
Ever since grade school, I always had a big attraction to the same sex and assumed I was a lesbian in denial for the longest time. I grew up in a traditional, religious and sexist household where men get to do whatever they want and women couldn't. I was also the only girl out of boys so...more pressure...
This put pressure on me to be "normal" aka, straight...the town I was in was small and...incestuous(not joking, first cousins are marrying eachother and nearly everyone is related). To put it bluntly, it was hard to find any boy over there particularly...attractive..
That was one of the reasons I thought I wasn't opposite sex attracted lol. Also...because I ended wanted to be like them and not with them. I liked dressing masculine and envied that men didn't get crap for dressing that way when I would get called a "f-gg-t" and a "tr-nn-"...
At one point, I thought I needed to transition at one point to be "normal" because if I were a guy and liked women, then that would make me "straight" is what I thought back then in my dumb teenage brain lol.
Anyways, long story short, towards the end of senior high/beginning of freshman year of college I realized my attraction to the opposite sex.
I was REALLY attracted to the opposite sex and it was confusing lol. That's when I knew I was bisexual.
What about y'all?
::BONUS QUESTION::
Are you "out" to people?
For me, no lmfao. I don't see any point of "coming out" in particular...I'll get unwanted comments. I was "out" to my religious brothers but they didn't think much of it. One brother was like "I thought it was a phase" and didn't say much after. There doesn't seem much point to come out unless it's to tell the person you're dating to make sure they're okay with it. My current partner is okay with it so that's all that matters to me.
