No, never, you never have to label yourself. Labels never actually mean anything it's like when someone says a cup can only be used as a cup but sometimes it could be used as a bowl, or a holder for a beautiful plant. You make it how you make it a label doesn't control it. If you don't feel comfortable enough with a label then you don't have to label yourself in any shape or form, just do you.

Nope! Labels can help people make sense of how they feel or who they are. But if labels don't work for you, you definitely don't have to use them. Just be yourself!

In my opinion, you do not have to label yourself. As the saying goes, "labels are for clothes!" Just be who you are and love who you love, and accept yourself and others.

No, labeling yourself or not doing so is a personal choice. I find it to be useful to avoid having to explain myself, my emotions, my wants and don't wants to everyone every time the topic is mentioned. It is also helpful to me because it give me a sense of belonging somewhere...of being understood. But it is not an obligation at all :) If you feel happier without a label then go of it! Its all about what works best for you

No! Labels can be such an empowerment but not if they are forced. Give yourself time to really figure out what you are feeling and then you'll know.

No, of course not! I know labels can be difficult, since they're so hard to live up to. If you know who you are and your identity, that's really all that matters:) You are you, and you're the way you need to be.

There is no such need. Sexuality is a spectrum and doesn't have to be something you put in boxes, not to mention that it can be fluid. If you feel you want to label it it's just fine, but if you don't it's just as fine. What matters most is how you feel.

I think we live in a society where labels seem to have importance. However, there is no reason why you have to label yourself if you really do not want to. What do you feel about it?

Labels are ridiculous. You are you. You are exactly who you are meant to be, and not what others say. Just because they label you, doesn't mean you have to call yourself that. You're much more than a simple word. You are outstanding and one-of-a-kind.

Not if you don't want to. Labels can be convenient for communication, but if you find them stressful or would rather just describe yourself in your own way, there's no reason you have to pick labels to define yourself.

I don't think you have to label yourself. It depends on if having that label/identity is important to you. I myself don't like labels. I don't like being labeled based off of my race or my sexual orientation. I am just me and the the experience that have shaped me. Just be true to yourself and don't try to fit into the box of any label if it makes you feel uncomfortable.

Unlike what most people say, no you don't! You can always just say that you prefer not to label yourself or you are who you are.

Not unless you're comfortable doing so. Labels are simply tools meant to help you express yourself and connect to people with similar experiences.

No, you don't. Labels are names that individuals are comfortable with identifying themselves as. Or society does involuntary labeling with names that it views, suit the individual. Gay, Asian, white, tall, girl, funny, smart, those are all labels. If you're not comfortable describing a certain part of you, then you don't have to. Others may assume labels for you, but you just need to tell them that you don't like being labeled, and hopefully they will listen. How you want to be viewed is up to you.

Absolutely not. That is, if you're comfortable with it or not. For years I've been worried about my gender and the thought occurred to me that i didn't need to put a label on myself anyway. You're not a product on the shelves, you're a human, you don't need a label.

Absolutely not. Many people prefer not to label themselves and that's perfectly okay. some people might be confused if you don't label yourself because they may think that everyone has to have one but it's just not true.

No you don't have to label yourself. It makes no difference where you came from and who or what you like there is no need for a label. You are who you are and you like what you like. Whether you're Lesbian,Gay, Bi-sexual, Transgender etc, either way you're human God still loves you and there is nothing that can and will ever change that.

Absolutely not - you may feel like others pressure you too, like yout need a label to be understood, but if you don't want to label yourself, just don't. Being unlabeled is scary, but it's also freeing.
