    originally came out as gay a few years ago, but it just doesn't feel right. I've always struggled with accepting the fact I like boys. i've never been one to stick to something indefinitely. I prefer a label that allows my sexuality to be more fluid. Lately, I've had this recurring thought that gay doesn't fit, but i already came out so i have to stick with it (and it's probably just an annoying intrusive thought.)

    Have any of you come out again as something different? It's one thing to go from bi/pan to gay, as people expect that. But what was the response for those of you who came out as gay to bi?

    The biggest part I struggle with is just not wanting to really be in a relationship because I feel pressured to have sex, and that idea turns me off from any kind of relationship.

    I think my ex still got me fucked up.

    It's totally okay to switch labels, your labels are what you decide! Don't feel forced to stick to one simply because you've already come out. When I was about 14 I came out as bi to a lot of people, and not even a few months later came out as gay. Now, I don't identify with either of those! I definitely agree that sexuality can be fluid a lot of the time, so I decided for myself to say "queer", which is something that I feel a lot of people overlook. There are tons of umbrella terms that you could use if you're not exactly sure, or don't exactly care.
    Also, NEVER feel pressured to have sex! If your partner only cares about that, chances are they're not right for you anyways.
    Explore yourself and explore what you like, and somewhere along the line you might find a label that suits!
    Best of luck :slight_smile:
