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.
