Say No To Labels

I'm sure that people would feel at ease, less anxious and stressful if we all as a society didn't feel the need to label everyone. People shouldn't suddenly be labeled as a specific gender or sexuality just because society thinks this is acceptable and normal. I was thinking of all the different labels that exist and even though we don't nessicarily label ourselfs as certain things such as straight, gay, boy or girl people assume we are one or the other from apperance or who we are interested in. I watched a video by Dodie which provocked these thoughts into my head that just because she's always liked guys and gone out with guys she is attracked to women and would never see herself as being with just guys. So does this mean she's straight? But because she doesn't feel the need to label herself she is totally fine with this situation. I believe that we should all think and be this way because I feel exactly the same way after thinking about what she was saying in her video.

This doesn't just end at sexuality or gender but personality types such as extroverts and introverts. Yes I know I said I was an introvert in one of my latest blog posts I still have extroverted traights although they are small they're still there. Such as feeling good around being people because as much as I love being on my own sometimes I want to go out and chill with friends and maybe be louder than normal. So can we really label ourselves as anything because being labelled is resricting yourself from so much that wouldn't it be better to get rid of labels altogether?

I can't stand it when people especially people I don't know that wel make statements about me such as 'oh you're very quiet' because they are saying i'm very quiet all of the time which is not true. I can't even imagine how hard it is for people who don't fit into the social norm such as transgenders, gays, extremely introverted people or people with mental health issues because with labels come assumptions which are rawly true.

So if you are someone right now who hasn't discovered their sexuality or gender do not feel pressured in anyway to discovering it and telling people because you should not feel any urgency to let people know who you are attracted to. It's your body, your mind and your business and yours only. Labels are not important whatsoever, they don't mean anything. What matters is staying true to who you are and if you are not comfortable with who you are right now then change it or accept it depending on the circumstances of whether it will help you. When discovering who you are or you're at a difficult part of your life right now, only you matter at that point.

Labels develop unaccurate conceptions and false judgement on people who are given labels by society which is the people around them. They give no justic to anyone which is why I believe it would be better to totally bannish labels of all form however this obviously can't and won't happen but I can dream.

Basically I want to know what you think of labels and how they've affected you whether it's negative or positive, let me know.
