No, I don't like to label myself or others, even if we together are labeled anyways. To people I know I'm labeled, but I don't like it.

In my opinion a label is just a term for society to call us in order to segregate us from each other and I don't like that. I don't like when people let themselves be labeled by throwing it out every which way like it's a style to say:

"Hey! I'm one person that is just like all the others who relate to me".

To me it's just a word to call yourself, it shouldn't define how you live. Yes, to some that word is their considered lifestyle but still, it's not what tells you what you are.

I can't see how I can be labeled, only because I have so many different things I like. People can say I'm goth because I like the darker side of life, but they can call me emo too because I'm depressed and self-harm sometimes, or I'm scene because I like skinny jeans, converse, dyed hair. All together I'm just everything or anything. What kind of label would you consider me then?

Lifestyles and interests don't deserve to be labeled just so it's 'easier' for someone to define. Your an individual, your unique, just because your lifestyle, personality, behavior, interest...ect. matches someone else in relation, doesn't mean you need to consider yourself the same as them.

You have a personal identity, not like anyone else. Be proud your not like everyone in the world, you have a different mind set, different goals, different things to cope with that some people don't have. You're different, physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually. Use your ability to acknowledge yourself for what YOU like, believe, perceive, and know as a skill that proves your one of a kind.
