and sometimes completely straight - with no link to anyone they’ve met/any new attractions/bonds with people. Just at times (for example, a duration of months) feel very strongly attracted to women (as a woman) or men (as a man) and feel certain that they are gay.
Whereas at other times (the same general duration of time) only feel attracted to people of the opposite sex and not feel any attraction to anyone of the same sex? And feel positive that they’re straight, and feel disconnected to the times when they felt sure that they were gay?
The reason I’m confused is because I understand obviously the concept of being attracted to different people. It’s more that these feelings aren’t really connected to specific people, just strong feelings in either direction. Another confusing thing is the lack of link between the two feelings for the person feeling them (for example, feeling like “What was I thinking?? I’m definitely gay.” Or the same about being straight. The switch seems to be flipped with no clear reason why (sometimes … although occasionally will be triggered by an attraction) but often is completely random, and feelings very strong.
Is this just being bisexual? Or is it an entirely different thing altogether?
