Hey

I completely understand the confusion you're going through and it must be really difficult not knowing how best to describe yourself. You're right in that labels are confusing, but sometimes they're really useful in putting into words how we feel. That can be very affirming.

I did a quick google search and came across the word "heteroflexible", which essentially means someone is heterosexual, but may occasionally experience feelings and attractions to genders other than the opposite. I do not know that much about the label, but I guess it makes sense that it could include non-binary people as well as any and all other genders.

I definitely think it's okay to experiment with different labels and see which one you feel fits you best though. This was based off of a very quick google search, so there are likely other words out there too.

It's okay to not entirely understand yourself. You're 16, and there's a good chance many other people your age (maybe even people you know or have met) are questioning their sexualities too. It's normal, and it's hard, and that's okay.

I hope this has helped a bit. Feel free to message me if you want to talk at all.
