I used to have some labels but then I recently removed mentions of them and made myself "ambiguous gender" (just don't mention what my labels used to be if you remember them k ty)
and it made me think, you don't need to trap yourself in labels or identify as anything, not even cisgender/heterosexual.
I'm not saying you have to suppress all of your labels and the moment someone comes to ask you about it you instantly shoot them down, but I'm just saying it's okay to be unlabelled or be confused on your identity, especially when you're a younger person.
(I think) it's a universal feeling for teenagers to still be finding out about themselves and going through tons of phases, themes and labels. I say just wait until you're a little more older.
It's also okay to have a minimalistic Spacehey profile (if expressing yourself isn't your thing or you don't enjoy/know coding), where you don't label a bunch of stuff.
In the grand scheme of getting friends and stuff, I think the most vital part you have to at least state in your profile is your age because a lot of DNIs here tend to mention age, and people tend to want to have friends in their age range.
But you don't need to mention them explicitly you can always just say "adult"/"minor" but people might think you're 13-14 if you say minor so be aware if you're 16-17 and saying that in your profile.
I might have gotten off track, but I'm just saying you don't need to paste your entire autobiography in your bio or mention about your living situation, you can always just have an ambiguous identity. Not everything needs to be broadcasted online, get a diary for that
(and if you aren't proud of keeping those thoughts with you, you're always able to rip paper or use the eraser)
Being anonymous is an art form, you can easily fall out of it if you aren't careful.

kiko!
My friend asked my why people go unlabeled and I said exactly this!! I’m unlabeled too loll I used to switch from gender to gender. Every time I got a crush I’d change my sexuality. “Oh I’m litho romantic, oh I’m cupioromantic”
Now I am what I am and I like who I like. I don’t need to be confined to any label especially when I grow and change constantly as a person
