Help for somebody trying to understand bisexuality
Hi lately I’ve been confused on something and I was wondering if anyone can help me answer my question,
if you identify as bisexual is it okay or normal to feel attracted to the same sex, opposite sex or feel attracted to neither?
What I mean to say is it normal for somebody who is bisexual to feel attracted to both or neither, their attraction fluctuates over time.

You could reply with something like this:
It absolutely can be normal. 💙 Being bisexual doesn't necessarily mean feeling equal attraction to more than one gender all the time. For many people, attraction changes over time, sometimes called the "bi-cycle." There may be times when you're more attracted to one gender, multiple genders, or even feel little or no attraction at all.
Some bisexual people experience strong fluctuations, while others have very stable patterns of attraction. Everyone's experience is different, and there's no "right" way to be bisexual. If you find that you consistently experience little or no sexual attraction, you might also want to read about identities on the asexual spectrum, since some people identify as both bisexual and asexual (or biromantic and asexual).
There's no need to rush to label yourself. It's okay to take your time, notice what feels true for you, and let your understanding grow naturally. You're definitely not alone in wondering about this. 🌈💜
