hey!! so, I label as pansexual right now, but I'm questioning if I'm a lesbian? possibly...? I was wondering if anyone had ever been in a similar boat and how they discovered who they are? thx!

      @FS_cookielove I get that!!! they really don't matter too much to me, it eases my anxiety a little bit, but I agree that being happy is honestly the main reason

      I'm pan! I know I didn't care about gender. But sometimes I like will sway on what gender I like more, almost like depends on my mood. For your sake, like other people have said, I'd give it time and don't label. It's okay not to be labeled! Just take time to think and self reflect.

      Hello! I refers to myself as queer until late last year when I came out as a lesbian. I think it’s so tricky to figure out and making that change. Just trust your gut and remember that nothing is permanent and if it changes in the future that is okay! ❤️

      I still don't know what I am, I just don't focus on it. For me my sexuality isn't important I don't need a label for it. I date who I want and figure it out. I think I'm a lesbian, bi, demi, or straight. I have sexual ocd which makes it hard to know for sure but as long as you're happy with the person you're with labels shouldn't matter too much.

          @stella.mj I get that. for me figuring out what I am not knowing not having a label and being confused I'm not following the rules of my label and appealing to society gives me even more anxiety

      hiya :) i have been in the exact same situation you are countless times- going back and forth between two different labels and it’s hard ! in my own experience i found that just giving myself time is what i needed to make a decision, i made notes on how consistent my attraction to different people and genders was, spoke to friends and then looked at my own past present relationships and based my decision on that. i know some people (like myself) really like having a label to fit under but remember that if you’re struggling it’s always ok to not label yourself for a while and just be yourself <3 hope that helps :)
