Sexuality can be really confusing, this post is pretty relatable. I know for me on my journey it helped to use different labels until I find one that resonated with me the most. It might be helpful to just use the term queer which encompasses a multitude of sexualities and gender. There are also people who prefer to use absolutely no label at all which is also 100% okay. It sounds like your experience with sexuality is pretty fluid which is normal. There is no rush to figuring out who you are, you'll gain more understanding of what you like and what labels you do or don't align with. Your queerness is beautiful in all its forms
like brianna has said, whilst you might feel like you'd want a label to help you understand your sexuality and figure out who you are - there is absolutely no rush to do so. it's okay to maybe try different labels until you find one that feels right for you, or just no label at all. whilst frustrating it is a journey that can take time to understand, but the more you go on it, the more you will learn about yourself and work out who you like. and that is absolutely OKAYYYY. what matters is you remember you are an amazing person who is loved no matter the label.
sending you lots of hugs

I agree with @briannat that this post is really relatable for me! I myself had assumed I was straight throughout High School, then used the label of lesbian for a while, then queer, and then bisexual. It can feel distressing sometimes to notice your sexuality flow and change - like its a struggle to know what feels 'true' or who you authentically are. What is the hardest part for you about struggling with your sexuality?
The fact that you're getting curious about your sexuality and your identity already shows great self-awareness, and it's okay to not have all the answers right now
