Better explanation - quoted from PumpkinKate in "does this make me bi" poll:
"Nothing 'makes you' bi, straight, gay, or whatever. Those are just words used to DESCRIBE what we feel. You're just you, and only you know exactly what that's like. The labels are just a linguistic tool to simplify the feelings in our speech.
You are you, and you like what you like. I don't think there's a solid word out there for someone who feels kinda like they like one gender, but they sometimes think about the other, but they've only been in relationships with one sex, but they sometimes wish they were the other sex, etc. etc.
People are far too complex to be summed up by a word like "bi". And no matter what word you end up using, you're still the same person you were long before that word ever came along and started making you question yourself."
That's basically what I was trying to say.
Freud also explains it pretty well with his conceptualization of the human mind - there is the id of instinctual desires and impulses, the ego which seeks to carry out the wishes of the id, and the superego which acts as a regulator, judging the morality of the id/ego desires and submitting them to the norm. To say that the id alone is what makes us who we are is to ignore a lot of our cognitive faculties.
Do your thoughts reveal anything about your person?
