I find it so cringeworthy when people "come out" and say "I'm not straight, gay, or bi" "I just like people." Just say you're bi and go about your business
You don't sound edgy or mysterious, you sound pretentious and still scared to actually come out
Well maybe they are not still that comfortable saying they are gay tbh, it's none of our business, each one of us goes through the process differently.
Pansexual people still identify as pansexual though. I'm talking about the people who play the whole "I don't like labels" thing
true, but still
people go through these things in different ways and some people just don't use labels I don't think it should be annoying/bothering anyone.
Technically, they're doing nothing wrong. I'm all for the world evolving to a place where sexuality and labels actually don't matter and we all love / have sex with whomever we want without caring or having to declare their gender. Maybe these people are even paving the way for that (not the one in the OP, necessarily)
But right now, that's not how the world is. So, when somebody says "no labels", I feel like they're skipping several years and steps of the progress. Which isn't that bad when it's a genuine sentiment, but sometimes it feels like an effort to either detach themselves from the struggles of being openly LGBT or sound quirky and both of these things do irk me a little
I kinda empathise. I'm pansexual but I end up blabbering on about how I don't like labels because it sounds better than the ****ing awful word "pansexual". When I use pansexual, people just make fun of it so I get why people would rather explain it than use that word
