This is a tough one. I have a personality disorder which I struggle with every day and affects my life significantly. I am open to discuss my mental issues with people and participate in mental health spaces. However, I would HATE to be one of those people who put their long list of mental ailments, pronouns, diet preferences and whatnot as if it was all that there is to them as a person.
As a bisexual, I feel more privileged than gays or lesbians as I feel I haven't experienced many inconvieniences in my life due to my sexuality, other than the occasional biphobia from straight people as well as within the LGBT community and perhaps a few comments from randoms when I've been out with some of my gilfriends in public.
I'm not obsessed with my sexuality, but I went through a whole process to discover myself and I try to be more out and proud these days as I feel bisexual erasure is still prevalent. You see, I was born into a very progressive family so it was never expected of me to be heterosexual or fit into gender roles (which is how I'd like to raise my children) so I never thought about my sexuality that much. I only knew I liked girls very early on in life and it was a normal thing for me. When I became a teenager and got access to the internet I started worrying myself about having a label. Before that point, I had crushes and semi sexual experiences with both boys and girls and for some reason I thought bisexuality wasn't an option? So I came to the conclusion that I was a lesbian, and I was attracted to some boys due to societal pressure or whatever. So I came to my family as lesbian and identified as such for a couple of years.
It was a very confusing time, because I shut down my feelings towards boys instead of following my heart. I guess it was because I always felt a lot sexual attraction to women by default then romantic attraction, and with guys it's the opposite. I feel the romantic attraction first and then experience sexual arousal. I guess what the kids these days would call being demisexual or whatever.
Anyway, I'm more aware of my identity these days because I spent a big chunk of my life being confused and feeling like I was lying to myself when I was with the same or the opposite sex and I bet it's what a lot of bis go through as well.
I rambled a little bit so I apologise. Like I said I have a personality disorder and it makes it difficult to me to know who I am most of the time, I even have trouble feeling like a real person sometimes. I think what's most relevant in my life are my core beliefs and values. I'm an atheist, I am politically centre-left, I believe in creating strong family (even chosen family) and friend relationships. Caring for your people. Embracing one's culture while respecting others. Being open to learn and better yourself. As for interests, I don't think they define your personality although it leads you to find people akin to you which I think could be a positive thing.
