after questioning for the first time, did you ever question your sexuality again? (lemmy.ml)

It’s not as binary like a light switch, this or that, A or B. It’s all fluid. For example, I thought I was gay at first, for some years, but didn’t dare to act or think more in that direction. Then I started to come out to myself, explore a bit and realized I might be bi. I munched on that thought and feelings a bit and later found out that I was gay. More or less, at least.

I think this is the crux of it for a lot of folks. We pick the labels that feel closest most if the time. Just don't let your labels define you.
