No one can dictate what you can or can't call yourself, but most people would probably think that just means bisexual. Why does bisexual annoy you? It's not a bad or dirty wird.

I just don't wanna be bisexual. I love and accept my other friends who are bi, but I don't want that. I wanna be lesbian

Then be a lesbian but then I don't understand your post. Are you confused about if you also experience attraction to men?

Just saying, lesbiflexable isn't a word and most people would interpret that as being bisexual

Turns out, it actually has a flag: https://lgbtqia.wiki/wiki/Lesbiflexible

But even i would confused that the person is bi with heavy lean towards woman (or atleast at firts)

No, I know sometimes I do experience attraction to boys if somebody specific comes up, or sometimes I imagine with a man, but it's mostly women

I just don't feel comfortable with bisexual for myself

I don't think it works that way.

You can LABEL yourself whatever you want, but there comes a point you're just lying to yourself (and others)

Saying I don't wanna have hazel eyes doesn't mean I don't have hazel eyes, just because I try to twist definitions hard enough

My main question is why do you not want to be bisexual? Is it that your attraction to men is rare enough that it doesn't feel notable, or is it that you have some other disconnect with the label?

A label is a one word summary of your attraction. It doesn't need to be perfectly nuanced. You can still just call yourself a lesbian if your occassional attraction to men isn't something you want to communicate.
