Ohkay, to start off, I want it to be known that when I say "Obsession," I mean a topic or object of extreme interest to the point that it dominates a lot of your thoughts. Do not forget this for the duration of my post. :)

Most people develop obsessions with people or characters or TV shows or books, etc. Some people develop obsessions with habits or OCD mannerisms. I have an obsession, and it is neither of these things.

I'm obsessed with bisexuality, and it makes me feel really odd.

I'm a closeted bicurious guy myself. Maybe that's where my obsession comes from, I don't really know. But I'm really obsessed with bisexuality. I like to talk about bisexuality with my friends, but all but one of my close friends are straight, so they don't really understand, so I try not to. I spend a lot of time reading about bisexual people and bisexual characters, and I actually have noticed that even on here, I tend to be more interested in the Life Issues threads posted by bi/gay/lesbian people.

What is it with me? Am I weird?

I think you're trying to get a better understanding of that lifestyle, subconsciously. Weird, definitely not.

Hm...I suppose that could be all that it is, but it feels like it's more than this. Then again, I suppose obsessions always do. So I'm obsessed with learning how to be bi? lol.

Also, thanks for saying I'm not weird. :) I needed to hear that.

It's probably like when everyone was obsessed with Emo people?
But no, you're not weird.
It's just like how teenagers are peverted.

I don't think you're wierd, everyone has an obsession of thier own (most won't admit it though). I think that the best thing you could do is do some soul-searching/meditation on it to determine why you're obsessed with it. Maybe you're actually bi, but due to social/emotional reasons you have a hard time admiting it, even to yourself. Its not strage at all.

((btw, I don't think people are born gay/straight, it is a choice. This choice isn't always made by the person though, sometimes it is made for them based on what they've experianced in their life. Do I think homosexuality is wrong? I think homosexuality is about as wrong as preffering apples over oranges or vice-versa. wow, I think I got a little off topic))

I know I'm bi. :P I actually said that in my post. I openly admit this to myself. And some close friends. And of course all of you anonymous Menewshans. :)

Three basic things need to be understood here.
A. Yes you're weird.
B. That's not a bad thing.
C. Besides, everyone else is weird.

You have the right to be interested in anything you like. It's like my friend who's obsessed with legend of zelda.

Take it from the bi-girl. Your not weird. *giggles* ^.^ Eccentric sure, but that just makes you fun and unique!

No, you're definitely not weird! I myself can become obsessed with book characters if I'm not careful, lol. But I'm sure you have nothing to worry about.

It's perfectly normal what you're going through - 'normal' in the sense of how normal anything can be, really. I use the term normal loosely in everyday life. You're wanting to figure out your niche, which is exciting and you want to be able to explore everything, and that takes time and energy and obviously you'll get al ittle obsessed, especially if you're closeted in some ways still.

Hey, I was obsessed with learning/talking/dreaming about the bubonic plauge when I was in grade school; you at least have a healthy interest in human social functionality. :) Don't think yourself weird.

I 've gone through phases when I chatted about my orientation ( asexuality) alot. I think as long as it's not long term , this is fine.
I think sometimes when you have a non heterosexual orientation, you may need to explore it a bit more.

I would have to agree with everyone else. You're far from weird. Maybe your obsession stems from wanting to tell your straight friends, so you talk about it a lot? You're probably also just trying to search for others like yourself, and people do that subconsciously with chatter, etc.

I don't think that's weird at all. Define "weird" Seriously, I'm actually kind of scared of what people would describe weird as...

Since most of your friends can't really understand how it feels, maybe your "obsession" is just a hunger of informations and a necessity to talk a bit more about it with people who actually are bisexual as well.
I personally think it's perfectly normal, expecially when you define yourself, rather than bisexual, a "closeted bi-curious".

You have straight friends, and that's not a bad thing, but some things sometimes need to be shared and discussed with people who actually have some experience about it.
I think that's all :)

You feel a bit reserved about it and you enjoy being able to be completely yourself about it. That's why you get excited talking to other people and seeing things related to bisexuality.

Trust me, I've gone through this with several things.

I'm in a long distance relationship. Relationship threads on here automatically become more interesting if the person is in a LDR to me.

I also have a semi-weird fetish that I do not openly talk about at all. I got waaaaaaaaay overexcited when I found a forum full of people with my fetish and also when I found out the strangely I had a friend who had my same fetish as well.

I've struggled with mental problems and whenever I read a thread on any of these Life Issues forums posted by someone with the same mental problems, I tend to get way overexcited as well. They get it and it feels awesome and I can swap stories about experiences I struggle through because of my mental problems without any judgement from them.

You're around people who you can be completely yourself with. It's exciting. You don't have to worry about them thinking you're strange or not getting it. No matter how much people around you say they accept you, you probably worry that they don't completely or that you'll annoy them with it. These people you can just relax with on the other hand and not censor yourself at all with them.

Until you wonder what sexuality your teapot is, that's likely an intense and pervasive fascination stirred by internal conflict which stems from your awareness of that your status as a bisexual male is taboo in your social circle, rather than a proper obsession. The desire to study external examples of what one feels is aberrant in oneself is a classic human technique for coping, and not even a terribly unhealthy one - it's that old primate curiosity, the cornerstone to the success of the naked ape! It's not even a particular BAD coping device, as long as you remain functional and don't let your thoughts stop you from doing whatever it is that you choose to do. You may not be average, but if functionality is the measure of normality, you're perfectly normal, sorry to say.

Now that I've mentioned it, though, you might as well give it a shot and go for the gold! Start with something easy, like wondering about the sexuality of your household pets. Then move on to animals with slightly different reproductive systems, such as ants. If a particularly feminine ant queen is only interested in other queens, does that make her a lesbian, or is she still a queen? After that, you'll be ready to tackle even more abstract questions, such as whether inanimate objects can have sexualities in the same way that they can have personalities, or even whether cosmological forces such as gravity might identify one way or the other.

Or you could find a community of like-minded individuals and discuss the issue to your heart's content. Whatever floats your boat.

I don't think its weird. Now, my obessions with Xenomorphs and Pyramid Head is weird. XD

It is understandable that you are taking an interest in something that you are. It intrigues you and you want to know more about it since you are living it. Everyone likes to be well informed about themselves and others around them. I have had small obsessions about things when they affect me. I think most people do.

Oh, and don't worry about your straight friends. Hehe, not all straight people can understand the awesomeness of being able to enjoy both sexes. Though, I am straight. ^^; I just think that bisexuals and homosexuals are awesome. <3

And don't worry about finding the posts from bis/gays/lesbians to be more interesting. They can be because straight people's life issues are um... more common. I wouldn't say less difficult, since it all depends on the person, but straight people don't really have to worry about people judging them based on their sexuality or religious organizations going crazy at them over who they love. Plus, its understandable that you want to post on a thread that may have more accepting people or people who are like you. It helps with making friends.

and blah blah blah... lol I like to ramble. ^^; Just, don't worry. XD
