Trying to understand my own identity without rushing into labels

I've been feeling a bit lost lately when it comes to figuring out my sexuality and overall identity. Growing up, I never really thought much about labels like gay, bi, or straight, but now in my mid-20s, it feels like everyone expects you to pick one and stick with it. The thing is, sometimes I feel attracted to people regardless of gender, and other times I’m just not sure what those feelings even mean.

It’s both confusing and kind of freeing, but also a little scary because I don’t want to be misunderstood or pressured into putting myself in a box that doesn’t quite fit. I’m trying to be patient with myself and remember that it’s okay to not have all the answers right now. I guess I’m looking for stories from others who have felt this way—maybe those who took their time or found their identity shifting over time?

How did you handle the pressure to label yourself before you felt ready? And has anyone else found that their feelings or identity changed over the years instead of being a fixed thing from the start?
