Bibian

For me, it comes in waves sometimes — especially when I feel like I don’t fully fit in anywhere.

What has helped me is reminding myself that my identity doesn’t need validation from others.

Does anyone else experience this in phases, or is it more constant for you?

For me, one of the biggest challenges was feeling like I didn’t fully belong anywhere at first.
Too “straight” for some spaces, too “gay” for others.

Has anyone else experienced that in-between feeling?

It’s interesting how many of these misconceptions still exist…

Sometimes people don’t even realize how harmful they can be.

What’s one that you still hear today?

One thing I really wish more people understood is that being bisexual isn’t about being “half this, half that” — it’s a complete identity on its own.

A lot of people still try to fit it into a binary way of thinking, like you have to eventually “choose a side”, which just isn’t true. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

Also, just because someone is in a relationship with one person doesn’t change who they are.

You don’t stop being bisexual depending on who you’re with.

What’s something you wish people understood that they often get wrong?

This is something I think a lot of people quietly deal with 😊

For me, it’s never been exactly the same in every situation. Sometimes you feel more open, and other times you’re more selective depending on the people around you.

And honestly, that’s okay — you don’t have to share everything with everyone.

What matters most is feeling comfortable and safe being yourself.

Do you feel like you’re able to be fully open in most situations, or does it really depend on the environment?

I think this can be even more difficult within relationships than outside of them.

Sometimes it’s not always obvious, but small comments or assumptions can still hurt over time.

For me, communication and setting boundaries really helped, but it’s not always easy.

Have you ever experienced this in a subtle way rather than something very direct?

I feel like representation has really improved over the years 😊

Recently I’ve been curious to discover new shows or characters people can actually relate to.

Any recommendations?
