No more labels.

Sorta vent-ish but I thought about this for a while and figured I'd just talk about it. I'm truly not bothering with labels anymore because there's honestly no need for me to. Like technically I'm hetero-aroace since I'm attracted to women but don't want sex or a relationship, but I'd rather just call myself straight/heterosexual because it's more straightforward for me to just say that. Plus it just feels like I'm attatching a label to myself for the sake of it. I guess it's like I just put it on because just about all my friends (and people I know) are LGBT in some way so I feel like I should sorta join in, but idk. Same thing with gender identity. Admittedly I mentioned this in another blog, but I'm fairly certain there's some name for the specific situation I felt, but I'd rather just consider myself a (cis) man because it'd be a headache to explain to people what exactly that label means, especially those not versed in that sorta thing. Wouldn't help that I wouldn't truly feel like that anyway. Of course labels don't apply to just those, but in general I'm not bothering to put on a hyper-specific label for something.

Idk. I'm just not comfortable trying to attach myself to a label when I don't truly feel like that. And I'd rather just have people see me for me rather than a label I put on myself.


I promise this is the last blog about this sorta thing, lol.
