Who are the labels even for?

I'm still at the early stages of exploring my sexuality and think I could be bisexual, but the very thought of labeling myself is what is causing me the most anxiety. I'm still me but I feel like once I make it public what I am, there's going to be a lot of stereotyping and I'm not a stereotype. None of us are. Am I viewing this in the wrong way? Do I really need a label?
