i have no idea what my sexuality is. I'm female, and for a while I thought I was straight. But it has become evident to me that I am not. However, I can never find a label that describes how I feel, and sometimes I find one that is so close, but not quite it, such as demisexual (which doesn't quite fit because I'm pretty sure I'm ace), and bisexual (which doesn't quite fit because I'm not sure if I do like both women and men, or how much, or if I could be something slightly different like pansexual).
There are so many specific things that are different from the stereotypical straight sexuality that when trying to find mine, I wonder things like "How many things am I?" and "Who do I feel attracted to, in what way, and to what level?". I know labels aren't for everyone, but I really want there to be one for me. I don't know what to do.

Uhhhhh I'll just go ahead and give brief descriptions of possible sexualities I'm seeing from this
Pansexual: gender plays no role in attraction. You like people based on personality, and gender/sex has nothing to do with it.
Bisexual: you like both genders, but explicitly because they are a man, or they are a woman. So, someone being feminine is attractive to you, as is masculine- and if they lack either of those qualities, it may hamper attraction.
Omni-sexual: bi, but with a preference. "I would prefer to be in a relationship with a woman, but one with a man could work out too." Or vice-versa.
I'm not really sure if this will help at all, but I'm unsure what else to say other than "experiment and see what you like"
Since you seem to be lacking an understanding of how much you feel attracted to everything
I'm not sure if you know what almondsexual and Berrisexual are but almondsexual means you mostly feel attraction to men and non binary folk and little to women and Berrisexual means you are mostly attracted to women and non binary folk and little to men, hope this helps, good luck.
I'll also go ahead and mention that romantic and sexual orientation can differ- this was causing myself confusion for a while, so I'll go ahead and throw it out there.
You could be Demi romantic asexual
