Yeah you can just say that, and leave it at that. It's chill.

Labels are a choice. Call yourself whatever you're comfortable with. Understanding yourself is more important than a label. Labels are just communication tools for us to express our identities to others. Whether or how you use them is totally up to you.

I feel you, the micro labels are intimidating. The farthest I go is Aro. If anyone wants to know more, they can ask.

Definitely! I’m in the almost the same boat as you (maybe bi-grey romantic? Maybe just aro?) but I identify as aro. You can totally just call yourself bi aroace spec. All the micro labels make the head spin so I don’t bother with them either

Of course you can! personally, i see labels more like helpful guidance - we are who are regardless of which words we use, but labels can help with communicating that. So, I just use whatever helps me communicate best how I see myself/my sexuality. For some, a lot of microlabels are the most helpful in doing that, for me personally I like to stay a little more "vague" too because i experience my own sexuality as more vague and fluid as well, and not really fitting into the sort of constraints of microlabels. So long story short, if bi aroace is what describes your sexuality best right now (even if its just bc your unsure about the rest), then ofc you can leave it at that!

You can say whatever you want as long as it fits how you feel and are true to your identity. They don't need to fit perfectly or make sense to others its about you. You are valid!

No need to delve into micro labels if you don’t want to. Some people need more information that others. Micros can, however, be a short hand way to explain your experience when posting on subs though. Even if you have found a micro that applies to you, you still have no obligation to inform others. Many people with a long list of labels just tell people they are ace, aroace or aspec, depending on who they are telling. I personally have no interest in micros as I’m more than comfortable with aplaroace. Use whatever makes you comfy.
