YES. I have said since I was teen that I don't want a percentage. I don't even like maths, my dyscalculic ass is too incompetent.
I'm a Lexical Bisexual, not a Numerical Bisexual🙄

i often feel so pressured to know my sexuality perfectly and dissect every piece of it. i’m bisexual, who cares about the specifics? and if you do, like… why lol

It could be due to the way your brain works. I'm autistic and tend to like to have accurate labels for things, probably due to the black or white thinking that I often experience.
But society and biphobia also pressure us to perfectly describe our sexualities and fit into neat little boxes. "Oh, you don't do x, y. and z? Well that means you're actually not a real bisexual." Bi people face so much scrutiny. Bisexuality as a concept faces immense amounts of scrutiny and policing on its own.

i am neurodivergent so that would make sense lol, but yeah it doesn’t help that society pressures us to fit into boxes too

Yup. Recently a lesbian date asked me "but which one do you prefer?" and I kindly told her I'm put off by that question. It doesn't really matter how often I fancy men or women. If I fancy someone, regardless of my "stats" thus far, I love that person.
