    I know I'm bi, I know there's nothing wrong with it, yet I still can't help feeling disgusted by it. Why me? How can I become more accepting of myself? I fear that I may never, and I want to be able to some day, sooner rather than later.

    It's okay, love, don't be disgusted...
    You be you, and love you. I'm sorry I can't help more, because I have terrible self loathing about my appearance and whatnot, so I may not be the best person to give advice. But I'm always here to talk if you want.

    Hey nyctbi,

    There is a difference between understanding your sexuality and accepting it. It can take some time after understanding it before your really accept it. In my case, it took me two years from the time that I accepted my bisexuality until I fully accepted it and was comfortable with it.
