I really guess this is your choice??? I have always noticed the kid that was bullied in school, became a control freak, such as a policeman and the like... I always thought it better to build someones self-confidence rather than making them have a bad self image of themselves...
With me being bisexual and not totally out. I find it hard to find a GF that will except my lifestyle or a BF that was not CRAZY. I guess that why I stay sexually inactive anymore. It's really kind of SAD sometimes
All through high school people always thought I was gay; which made getting a girlfriend even that much harder. I guess I am on a RANT. As I am getting older. I have found out I choose the people around me. Most people I have come across are of a good nature till you have left the room and they have to thrash someone to build themselves up...
I know who I am, What I am, and what I deserve as a human....
I have not reached all my goals yet, but I do believe I prefer encouragement to punishment....
I think bi people get an especially bad rap because the straights still think you're gay...and so do the gays.
Having been married twice myself, I understand the attraction to women and could possibly have a relationship with one that didn't seem crazy, but the duality of constantly living as a bisexual is simply not appealing to me. I identify as gay.
I believe living in the south, as you do, makes yours an even more difficult situation but as you said, you know who you are.
