If it brings people here comfort, since Iโm seeing quite a few people saying they donโt know their sexuality.
You donโt owe anyone your sexuality. You donโt have to know yourself. I think there is a lot of emphasis from people online who want social currency to label as many things about themselves as possible so that they can express that theyโre different from other people. In reality, sexuality just doesnโt matter in the grand scheme of things. When I was younger, I wanted that label because I wanted to know who I was. I clung to the label so desperately because it felt like who I was and who I had to be. I experienced a lot of confusion because my mum would emphasise things like โit might changeโ or โyou donโt know yetโ and it caused me a lot of stress. As Iโve gotten older, Iโve put less and less emphasis on my sexuality for myself. I wonโt lie and say I donโt struggle with identity issues at all, but thereโs a lot less stress for me now. Personally I know right now I 100% like women, and I have no interest in guys, but I ended up preferring the label sapphic because it can account for any dating I choose, because at the end of the day liking women while being a woman is the only criteria for being sapphic. But, even that still counts as a label. You donโt need one at all if you donโt want one or havenโt found one you feel comfortable with. Just date who you want to date! If you like someone thatโs great! You might feel more free in your life by just following your heart instead of a definition given to you online
