As I've said in the title being bi feels so crushingly lonely and mixed with anxiety this is so much worse. Does that mean I have no friends at all? Nope, I actually have quite a lot that I talk to daily but I meant it as in closer relationships like best friends or romantic partners. Although there's a lot of reasons why being bi is lonely , those ones are quite obvious but there's one I wanna talk about. The reason why it's lonely for me at least is how risky it is. I feel like if you were straight or even gay its much easier to balance your platonic and romantic relationships because most of the time you'll have one gender group as your besties while the other as your romantic partner but how am I supposed to have this balance when EVERYONE I meet is a potential romantic partner? This is quite infuriating but its fine cuz i can deal with it but the problem isn't only tied to me but also to my potential partner, how would they feel if most of my best friends were women or men knowing that I could be attracted to ANY of them due who I am as a person? Its so difficult just to hang out with a best friend alone cuz any of them could be a romantic partner thus being a hazard I understand that being in a relationship is a commitment and sacrifices must be made but I do not want to completely cut off people who I care about deeply. Maybe I'm just too paranoid and overthinking things but I've had so many relationships be ruined simply because of this and it hurts every single time
