    It’s not wanting a label, it’s struggling to fit in and being tired of it. Finding people like yourself is how you fit in, and if you fit with some people and they have a label, you checkup on it yourself and find an explanation of why you didn’t fit in in the first place.

    If you feel you fit in without knowing who you might fit in with, that is great, and you don’t need to have a label. But some people find it easier to find like minded people if they match labeles.

      So it’s a social crutch they can lean on to find community? I’m pretty sure I mentioned something like that in my comment.
