Feeling Lost Between Labels and What I Actually Feel

I've been thinking a lot about my sexuality lately, and honestly, it feels like I'm stuck in this confusing middle ground. Growing up, I was told to pick a label — gay, straight, bisexual, whatever — but my feelings don't really fit neatly into any of those boxes. Sometimes I’m drawn to people regardless of gender, but other times I don’t feel much romantic attraction at all. It’s like my heart is trying to speak a language I don’t fully understand yet.

It can be lonely not having a clear label to hold onto. I worry about how others might react or if I’m just overthinking things. At the same time, I want to be authentic to myself and not force my feelings into a category that doesn’t fit. I’m hoping to hear from others who have felt this way — maybe you’ve been in a similar place of uncertainty or discovered that labels aren’t as important as feeling true to yourself.

Have you ever struggled with not fitting into typical labels? How did you come to terms with your identity when it felt unclear? Any advice on embracing that uncertainty without feeling lost?
